Does a positive value multiplied by a negative value equal a positive?
No, the product of the multiplication of a positive and a negative value is negative.
Does -3x have a positive or negative value?
It depends on what the value of x is. If x is a positive number, then it will be negative because a negative number multiplied by a positive number is negative. If x is a negative number, then it will be positive because the product of two negative numbers is always a positive number.
True or false if x is positive and y equals -x then xy is negative?
Yes, multiplying a Positive value by a Negative value always yields a Negative product.
What is the smallest factor of a number?
The smallest positive factor of any positive integer is the number 1. If negative factors are allowed, the smallest factor is the negative of the absolute value of any integer.
Is a negative plus a positive a positive?
If, and only if the positive value is > the negative value.
Is negative and negative positive or negative?
It depends on the arithmetic operation you are performing:---------------------------------In AdditionNegatives and negatives have a negative sum. The only way to obtain a positive sum is to have a larger positive value than negative value.(-1) + (-2) = (-3)----------------------------In subtractionSubtracting a negative number is the same as adding its negative value (which is positive).(-1) - (-3) = (-1) + 3 = 2-------------------------------In MultiplicationThe product of two negatives is a positive. The product of a negative and a positive is negative.(-1) x (-2) = 2(-3) x (4) = (-12)------------------------------In DivisionDividing a negative by a negative yields a positive number.Dividing a negative by a positive, or a positive by a negative, yields a negative number.(-4) / (-2) = 2(-4) / 2 = (-2)4 / (-2) = (-2)By re-multiplying from the results, you can see that this holds true.
Will the qoutient determined by two negative integers be a positive or negative value?
Remember that when dividing two negative values, we obtain a positive result. The signs case for product is the same for this case.
What does a negative add a positive equal?
If the absolute value of the negative is bigger than that of the positive, then the answer is negative. If the absolute value of the negative is the same, then zero. If the absolute value of the negative is smaller, then positive. Absolute value is the value ignoring the sign.
What is the negative of zero?
There is no negative of zero, nor is there a positive. Zero is no value, hence it has no positive or negative value.
A positive number minus a negative number is?
If negative value>positive value then result is -ve If positve value>negative value then result is +ve
Negative PLUS a positive equals?
It is a negative if the negative number has the higher absolute value and positive if the positive number has the higher absolute value.
What is the absolute value for the positive?
the absolute value for a negative or positive value is always positive
