The rule goes:
NEGATIVE=OPPOSITE
Opposite is just another word for negative, here's why.
1. The opposite(negative) of positive is negative.
2.The opposite(negative) of negative is positive. NOW WATCH IF YOU DONT THINK SO
EX: 5*5=25....CHANGE TO OPPOSITE (NEGATIVE)....-5*-5=25
ALSO:5*-5=-25.....THEN...5*5=25.....MY POINT IS...-25 and 25 are opposites of each other.
FINAL ANSWER:NEGATIVE IS THE SAME AS OPPOSITE
Negative sign implies that it must move in the opposite direction. Thus, for example lets say, -5*-1. It's clear meaning is that move in direction(in xy plane)of magnitude 5 and in the direction opposite to that of -5. Thus the expression -5*-1 gives +5.
Multiplying anything non-zero by a negative number changes the sign. A positive number multiplied by a negative number becomes negative. A negative number multiplied by a negative number becomes positive.
No, a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, as is of course a positive multiplied by a positive. Only when a negative is multiplied by a positive is the answer negative.
Positive. Because a negative number multiplied by a negative number = a positive number. And a positive multiplied by a positive =a positive -8x-8=64 8x8=64
The rules for dividing negative numbers is the same as multiplying them. A negative number multiplied/divided by a negative number is positive and a negative number multiplied/divided by a positive number is negative.
The answer to this is a little counterintuitive. positive X positive = positive negative X positive = negative positive X negative = negative negative X negative = positive Do you see the pattern? Two positives and two negatives will always be positive. Think of yourself standing on a number line. If you're a positive number you will be facing to the right. If you are multiplied by a positive number you will move to the right (positive). If you are negative number, you will be facing to the left, but when multiplied by a negative number you have to move backwards, which is now to the right--a positive number! Think of yourself as always facing right when a positive number and facing left when a negative number and then go forward or backward with the next number.
No No. Positive number multiplied by a negative number gives a negative number.
A negative number multiplied by another negative number equals a positive number. For example, -5 · -5 = positive 25.
This can never be. The square of any number will always be positive. Any positive number multiplied by another positive number will be positive, while any negative number multiplied by another negative number will be positive.

Multiplying anything non-zero by a negative number changes the sign. A positive number multiplied by a negative number becomes negative. A negative number multiplied by a negative number becomes positive.
A positive number multiplied by a positive number will give a positive answer:1 x 1 = 1In contrast, a negative number multiplied by a positive number gives a negative answer:-1 x 1 = -1Finally two negative numbers multiplied together give a positive answer:-1 x -1 = 1
A positive number multiplied by a negative number will always result in a negative number.
That depends on the values of the given numbers but a positive number multiplied by a negative number will be negative
A positive number multiplied with a negative number will always be negative.
