What else can I help you with?
Is the sum of a positive and negative integer always negative?
No. The sum of a positive integer and a negative integer has the same sign as the larger integer.
When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer positvie?
The sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is positive when the positive integer is greater. For example: 9 + (-5) = 4 In this case, the positive integer 9 is greater than the negative integer 5. Therefore, the sum is positive.
When is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer zero?
When the absolute value of the positive integer is the same as the absolute value of the negative one.
How often is the sum of a negative integer and positive integer zero?
The sum of a negative integer and a positive integer is zero only when the two integers have the same absolute value. For example, if you have -3 (negative integer) and +3 (positive integer), their sum is zero. However, in general, this situation occurs infrequently since it requires specific values. Most of the time, the sum will be a negative integer if the absolute value of the negative integer is greater than that of the positive integer, and a positive integer if the opposite is true.
Is the sum of a positive and negative integer never positive?
No, it can be.
