When is the sum of a positive and negative integer positive?
When the positive integer is farther from 0 than the negative integer, example -4+5=1 why? the -4 is 4 places to the left of the 0 and the 5 is 5 places to the right.
Why is the sum of a positive integer and a negative integer is always negative?
It isn't always negative. ... for example: -5 + 12 = 7 (a positive number) -5 + 2 = -3 (a negative number) -5 + 5 = 0 (neither negative nor positive) If the negative number has greater magnitude than the positive number, the sum will be negative If the positive number has greater magnitude than the negative number, the sum will be positive If the negative and positive numbers have the same magnitude, the sum will be zero.
Is 0 positive integer or negative integer?
Zero counts as neither positive nor negative. It is a neutral integer
What is the sum of the first 10 positive integers?
what is the sum of the first 10 positive integers? To me, if you include 0 as the first integer, then the tenth integer is 9 and the sum is 45. If you don't include 0, the tenth integer is 10, and the sum is 55.
What integer can be positive or negative?
Any integer, other than 0, has a positive as well as a negative version. -0 is the same as +0, and so the two are treated as a single number.
What is the sum of the first ten negative integer and the first ten positive integer?
The sum of the first 10 positive integers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 is 55. The sum of the first 10 negative integers -1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-8,-9 and -10 is -55. The sum of the first 10 positive plus the sum of the first 10 negative integers is 0
Is it never always or sometimes the sum of two positive integers is zero?
The sum of two positive integers is never zero. The sum of two numbers a and b can only be zero if a=-b, or a=0 and b=0. Since 0 is not a positive integer, and a and b cannot both be positive integers if a=-b, then it is impossible for the sum of two positive integers to be zero. _______________________________________________________________ The above answer is correct. Here is another way to say it: An integer is any whole number including negative numbers, positive numbers and zero. However, a "positive integer" is a whole number greater than zero. The "sum of two positive integers" means you are adding two numbers greater than zero together. Therefore, the sum of two positive integers can never be a negative integer, and can never be zero. Example: 1 + 1 = 2
Is 0 a negative or posative integer?
It is neither negative nor positive
What is the only integer that is not positive or negative?
0 Zero
Integer that is not a whole number?
no, integer is 0 or positive / negative whole number
Does the sum of a negative integer and a positive integer always zero?
No,because if you add -5 and 10 you get 5 which is not equal to zero. They way you would get 0 as an answer is if you add a negative integer and it's opposite like -5 and 5. Then your answer would be zero.
