When can you say that the product the two integers is negative?
When one of them is negative and the other is positive.
How do you multiple and divide positive and negative integers?
multiplying and dividing a negative number will "flip" the sign of the other number. So multiplying two negative numbers will produce a positive number. Multiplying one positive and one negative number will produce a negative. And of course two positive numbers yield a positive.
Is the sum of two integers psitive negative or zero how do you know?
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.
When three negative are multiplied is the product positive or negative?
It is a positive. When you multiply a negative and a negative, it becomes a positive, then you multipy the positive with the other positive
What is a set of numbers that includes 1 but not zero?
The set of positive integers contains 1 but not zero. Within the set of integers, there is the subset of positive integers, the subset of negative integers and the subset with a single element in it - zero. There are a zillion other sets that could be specified that meet the conditions set down in the question. The one cited is an easy one.
What is the rule in dividing integers?
The rule in dividing integers is to divide the absolute values. Two positive integers or two negative integers equals positive product. If one integer is positive and the other is negative, the product is negative.
Is the set of positive integers the same as the nonnegative integers?
No because one will get a positive number and the other will be negative
When can you say that the product the two integers is negative?
When one of them is negative and the other is positive.
What does opposite mean when talking about integers?
Positive and negative integers are opposite each other.
How do you multiplies and divides integers?
Multiplying and dividing integers is real easy. All you have to do is do regular dividing and multiplying keeping in mind these simple rules: RULES: 1: When multiplying or dividing integers, when the numbers are a positive, positive they equal a positive. When the numbers are negative, negative they equal a positive. In other words, same signs equal positive. 2: This rule is very similar to the rule above. The only change is that when the signs are different, they equal a negative. ( negative, positive= negative, positive, negative= negative.) Please correct me if I'm wrong. Multiply integers- my notes from class positive x positive= positive positive x negative= negative negative x negative= positive Divide integers- again my notes from class positive divided by a positive= positive negative divided by a negative= positive negative divided by a positive= negative Dividing integers are simple if the number has a different sign than the other it is always negative but if they have the same sign its always positive ex. -20/5=-4 ex. -20/-4=-5
What is the sign of the product when you multiply four integers?
The sign of the product of four integers depends on the signs of the individual integers. There are 4 cases: 1) When all 4 integers share the same sign and all are non-zero (either all are positive or all are negative), the product is positive. 2) When 3 of the 4 integers share the same sign and all are non-zero (3 are positive and 1 is negative; or 3 are negative and 1 is positive), the product is negative. 3) When 2 of the integers are positive non-zero and the other 2 of the integers are negative non-zero, the product is positive. 4) If even one of the integers is zero, the product is zero (no sign - it is neither positive nor negative).
Is fifteen degrees positive or negative?
This is a positive temperature on the Celsius scale and negative on the other scales.
What are some examples of negative and positive integers?
Positive integers are whole numbers greater than 0. In other words 1, 2, 3, ... Negative integers are whole numbers less than zero. Such as -1, -2, -3, ...
When do you know when the integers are positive and negative?
If the number is zero, then it is neither positive nor negative.For all other integers: If there is a minus sign, "-", before the integer, then it is negative. If there is a plus sign, "+", before the integer or no sign at all, then it is positive.
Are all whole numbers positive or negative?
All integers can be positive or negative, including zero. But zero on its own is neither positive nor negative. It is directly inbetween where one becomes the other.
How do you multiple and divide positive and negative integers?
multiplying and dividing a negative number will "flip" the sign of the other number. So multiplying two negative numbers will produce a positive number. Multiplying one positive and one negative number will produce a negative. And of course two positive numbers yield a positive.
How do you compare a positive and a negative integer?
One (negative) is preceded by a - sign and the other (positive) is not. Negative integers have values less than zero, whereas positive integers have values greater than zero. If a positive and negative integer are made up of the same digits and in the same order (e.g., 2 and -2, or 896 and -896), then when added together they will equal zero. If, however, one is subtracted from the other, then they will equal twice the number from which the other is subtracted.
