What is smaller is it 10 raised to the power of negative 7 or 10 raised to the power of negative 2?
10-7 is smaller than 10-2.
Is negative 2 greater than negative 7?
yes, because it is closer to zero on the negative side
Why does adding a positive and negative integer always result in a negative integer?
It won't always result in a negative integer. Multiplyinga positive number and a negative number always results in a negative number. For example 3 x -2 = -6. Adding a positive number and a negative number can result in a negative number but it does not have to.When adding a positive number with a negative number, we really subtract from the largest number in the absolute value the smallest number in the absolute value, and we keep the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. So the sign of the number with the larger absolute value will determine the sign of the answer.Some examples:10 + (-7) = 3Here, 10 is the largest number in the absolute value, because |10| = 10, and |-7| = 7. So, 10-7=3. 3 will be positive since 10 was positive7 + (-10) = -3Here, -10 is the largest number in absolute value, because |-10| = 10, and |7| = 7. So, 10 - 7 = 3. 3 will be a negative number since -10 was negative number. Thus, the answer will be -3.-10 + 7 = -3-7 + 10 = 3It all depends on whether the number with the larger absolute value is negative or positive. If it is positive then the answer will be positive. If it is negative then the answer will be negative. If the two numbers have an equal absolute value, then the result is zero, which is neither positive nor negative.
When you add a negative and a positive number what will you get?
Either a negative or a positive result depending on the values of the numbers as for example -7+9 = 2 but -9+7 = -2
Is -8 greater than 7?
No, because 0.8 is larger than 0.7.
When adding negative and positive equals to what sign?
It depends. To add numbers with different signs, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger. If the negative number has the larger absolute value, then the answer is negative, and vice versa. For example: (-2)+7=5 Because 7 is larger than 2.
What is negitve plus positive equals?
When adding a negative to a positive, the answer is positive if the positive is greater, and negative if the negative is greater. In other words, subtract the smaller from the larger and take the sign of the larger. Example: -7 + 9 = +2 Example: -9 + 7 = -2
Is negative 7 less than negative 5?
Yes, negative 7 (-7) is less than negative 5 (-5). Negative 5 is closer to zero, which makes it a larger number. ________________________________________________________________ Yes it is, and I am going to explain why it is by using sweets: Let's say you have 7 bags of sweets, If I came and took 7 off you, and then took another 5 of you that would be -5, if I took another 2 off you, then it would be -7, meaning that -7 is greater than -5.
Does a positive number plus a negative number equals?
The sign of whichever number's absolute value is larger. 7 + -2 = positive 5 2 + -7 = negative 5
Two negative consecutive odd integers have a product of 63 find the larger number?
Two negative consecutive odd integers that have a product of 63 are -7 and -9. -7 is larger than -9. -7 is the answer.
Explain why 7 minus negative 5 is 12?
7 - (-5) = 7 + 5 = 12 Taking away a negative number is defined as adding its absolute value.
What is -7 minus 2?
5
Is 7-9 negative 2?
Not exactly. It is negative 2.
What is negative 3y negative 7 equals 2?
2
What is negative seven minus negative two?
It is a plus positive, so -7 subtracting -2 is negative 5 - -5 when you are subtracting a negative, you just add the amount it is worth. So, -7-(-2)=-7 + 2= -5
When you add a positive and negative number together how do you determine the sign of the answer?
You subtract smaller number from larger and take sign of the larger For example negative 7 + 4 = -3
What is the rule for adding integers with different signs?
If it is two negative numbers then you add: ex: -7 + -5 = -12 If it is two different signs, then you subtract: ex: -8 + 2 = -6 Can you see which one is the larger absolute value? 8 is larger than 2 so it is negative.
