8 and -8; 8 + (-8) = 8 - 8 = 0, and 8 - (-8) = 8 + 8 = 16
-- write the difference between the integers without regard to their signs -- give the difference the same sign as the larger of the two integers
When the integers are negative.
4 and -7; 4 + -7 = -3 and 4 - (-7) = 4 + 7 = 11
The sum of two numbers depends on their signs and relative magnitudes.Both positive: sum positive Both zero: sum zero Both negative: sum negative Larger magnitude positive, smaller magnitude negative: sum positive Larger magnitude negative, smaller magnitude positive: sum negative Same magnitude, one positive and other negative: sum zero.
"minus zero" is the same as plus zero in that it makes no difference to the sum. So the answer is -3.
Two integers are additive inverses if their sum is zero
7 and -4
The sum of two positive integers can never equal zero.
They will be the same absolute value with opposite signs. They don't even have to be integers.
no
Integers have no fractional parts, so their sum will be zero.
If the integers are the same, then the sum is always zero.If the integers are different, then the sum is never zero.If there's no rule governing the choice of integers, then the sum is sometimes zero.By the way . . . we're talking about 'integers', not 'intergers'.
Only when the integers are the same but otherwise no.
That if one of them is a, the other is -a.
yes
-- Their sum and difference both have the same sign that the two integers have. -- Their product and quotient are both positive.
-- write the difference between the integers without regard to their signs -- give the difference the same sign as the larger of the two integers
