Is the opposite of a negative number always sometimes or never a negative number?
never a negative number * * * * * ... true if, by opposite, you mean the additive inverse. However, the multplicative inverse is also an opposite. And the multiplicative inverse of a negative number is always negative.
What is a positive number divided by a negative number?
when you are dividing 2 numbers with the same sign the answer is ALWAYS positive but when you are dividing 2 number with opposite signs the answer is ALWAYS negitive. the same is true with multiplication also
Is it true that adding 1 to a number always increases it's absolute value?
No if its negative it lowers its absolute value.
When you add two number the sum is always greater than the addends is it true or false?
False. The statement is not true if either of the numbers is 0 or negative.
What is the absolute value of a number is always non negative?
The absolute value of any number is always positive. * * * * * The statement in the question is true; strictly speaking the answer is correct. The absolute value of 0 is 0, which is non-negative but is not positive. One exception is enough to falsify an "always".
The absolute value of a number is always non-negative?
true
Is the absolute value of a positive number is always a negative number is it true?
No. You have it backwards . . . . . the absolute value of a negative number is always a positive number.
Is the opposite of a negative number always sometimes or never a negative number?
never a negative number * * * * * ... true if, by opposite, you mean the additive inverse. However, the multplicative inverse is also an opposite. And the multiplicative inverse of a negative number is always negative.
To multiply a negative number and a negative number you should multiply their absolute values and make the product negative true or false?
That is false. A negative times a negative is always a positive. Since absolute numbers are always positive if you make it negative that is not correct.

Is it true that the product of two negative numbers is sometimes a negative number?
No, two negatives multiplied together always form a positive number.
Is it true that no negative number is less than its absolute value?
No, it is not true that no negative number is less than its absolute value. In fact, all negative numbers are less than their absolute value. The absolute value of a negative number is always positive.
The absolute value of a number is always non negative true or false?
The absolute value will always be positive because if you think about it, the absolute value.
Is it true that the sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is always positive?
It depends, if a number with positive integers is greater than the number with the negative integer therefore the sum will be in positive integer. And if the number with positive integer is less than the number with the number with negative integer then the sum will be in negative integer.
Is it true that adding 1 to a number always increases it's absolute value?
No if its negative it lowers its absolute value.
When you add two number the sum is always greater than the addends is it true or false?
False. The statement is not true if either of the numbers is 0 or negative.
Why is the product of two absolute values is always a positive number?
This is not strictly true, because an absolute value, and hence the product of two absolute values can be zero. It is, therefore true to say that the product of two absolute values is always non-negative. An absolute value of a number is, by definition, non-negative. And by the definition of multiplication, the product of two non-negative numbers in non-negative.
