A negative number is the opposite of a positive number. If a positive number measures the money you have, then a negative number measures the money you owe. If you multiply two negative numbers together, you are getting the opposite of an opposite. One negative negates the other, leaving you with a positive.
For each positive number, there is a negative number that is its opposite. We write the opposite of a positive number with a negative or minus sign in front.The opposite of a number is also called its additive inverse.For example, 5 is the additive inverse of -5 and -5 is the additive inverse of 5.
The opposite of -98 is 98. In mathematics, the opposite of a negative number is the positive version of that number with the same magnitude. Therefore, when you reverse the sign of -98, you get 98.
Opposite of positive number will always be a negative number. The total of the two has to be zero as per the definition. So the zero does not have the opposite number.
The opposite of 0.1 is -0.1. In mathematics, the opposite of a number is the number that, when added to the original number, equals zero. Since 0.1 is a positive number, its opposite would be a negative number with the same magnitude but in the opposite direction on the number line.
It depends on what you mean by an opposite. Every real number has an additive opposite but 0 does not have a multiplicative opposite.
The answer depends on whether you mean additive opposite (TRUE) or multiplicative opposite (FALSE).
ill say a positive number
opposites somehow like a positive number is the opposite of a negative and a negative number is the opposite of a positive
Yes, a negative number subtracted from a positive number will always be positive. Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding the opposite of the negative number. The opposite of a negative number is always positive. A positive number plus a positive number is always positive.
Any positive numbers opposite is the same number just as a negative.
A positive number.
Yes, and the opposite holds true as well.
Are you serious? A positive number.
The additive opposite of a positive is a negative, and the opposite of a negative is a positive. If you reverse the sign twice (opposite of opposite) you have the original number. The same applies to an inverse (multiplicative opposite): the inverse of any inverse for a nonzero number is the original number. n (1/n)(n) = n
