No it doesn't. If the n is a negative number, it would equal a positive number. For example: -n=6 n must be -6 because a negative times negative equals positive.

When two integers have different signshow can you tell which is greaterWhen two integers have same signhow can you tell which is greater?

A positive number will always be greater than a negative number. If two integers have the same sign, and this sign is negative, then the lower number in absolute value will be the highest. If two integers have positive signs, the larger number will be the highest. If one of the numbers is zero and the other number is negative, then zero will always be the higher number. If one of the numbers is zero, and the other number is positive, the positive number wil always be highest. And just a reminder, for any number n, the absolute value of n, often written |n| , we have |n|=n if n is greater than or equal to zero and |n|= negative n if n is less than zero. For example, |3|=3 |-3|= -(-3)=3


Is it true that the square of a number is greater than the number itself?

It depends on what you mean by a number. If n is a positive integer (except for 1), then n^2 is greater than n. If n = 0 or 1, then n and n^2 are equal. If n = 1/2, then n is greater than its square. If n is negative, then n is always less than its square.
