When someone uses a double negative they end up saying the opposite of what they wanted to and the meaning of the sentence doesn't get across to the other person.

What are the uses of negative numbers in real life?

Try getting away without them. See what happens when you spend more than your income, or your bank balance. What temperature is it in the middle of the night in midwinter? more trivially, what is your acceleration when you are slowing down? etc etc


What is the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric sequence?

In an arithmetic sequence the same number (positive or negative) is added to each term to get to the next term.In a geometric sequence the same number (positive or negative) is multiplied into each term to get to the next term.A geometric sequence uses multiplicative and divisive formulas while an arithmetic uses additive and subtractive formulas.


How does microprocessor differentiate between a positive and negative number?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! You see, a microprocessor uses a method called Two's Complement to represent negative numbers. In Two's Complement, the most significant bit (leftmost bit) indicates the sign of the number - 0 for positive and 1 for negative. So, when the microprocessor sees that leftmost bit as a 1, it knows it's dealing with a negative number. Just a little twist of the bits to bring balance and harmony to the numbers!

How is PEMDAS used in real life?

I use it when I play Scrabble...when you count the score, you have to know whether to double the letter score before multiplying or the other way around. There are other uses as well, e.g. if you have a $5 off coupon at a store plus a 10% off special.
