Q

What is an important principle when it comes to multiple operations for subtractions and Multiplications?

A

An important principle to remember is that an equal amount of operators or lines equals a positive operation. An unequal amount of lines or operators equals a negative operation. i.e. - - -2=-2 // - - - -2=2

Is the result negative or positive? (-3)*(+3)?

A

Negative

19
Q

Is the result negative or positive? (+3)*(+3)

A

Positive

20
Q

Name the principle you know for solving a multiplication with 2 signed numbers

A

If we have an even amount of signs it is positive, if we have an uneven amount of signs it is negative. (++=+ // --=+ // -*+= -)

21
Q

Name the principle you know for solving a multiplication with more than 2 signed numbers.

A

I we have an even amount of negative signs the result is positive, of we have an odd amount of negative signs the result is negative.

22
Q

Name the rule for dividing signed numbers

A

When dividing signed numbers it is best to remember that if you have an overall amount of even negative signs in the division the result is positive. If you have an overall amount of odd negatively signed numbers the result is negative.

23

27
Q

(-3)*(-2)/6=?

A

28
Q

(3)*(-2)/6=?

A

-1

29
Q

(-3)*(-2)/-6=?

A

-1

30
Q

What is the result if you add two negative numbers

A

Negative

31
Q

What is the result if you add two positive numbers

A

Positive

32
Q

What is the result if you add/subtract two opposite signed numbers

A

Depending on which signed number is larger this will be the sign of the result

33
Q

What is Absolute value?

A

Absolute Value is the numeric amount from ORIGIN to finish

34
Q

How can you tell a number is an Absolute Value?

A

If the number is written inside these brackets |x|

35
Q

If you simplify an Absolute value expression is the result automatically positive?

A

Yes it does not matter if the Value inside the Absolute value brackets is signed negative or positive the result after removing the brackets is always positive.

36
Q

Is there any circumstance after simplifying the Absolute value of something that we have a negative result?

A

Yes, if we put a negative sign BEFORE the Absolute Value brackets we carry this over to the result i.e. -|2|=-2

37
Q

|2-3|=?

A

|-1|=1

38
Q

|2+4+1|=?

A

|7|=7

39
Q
  • |2-3|=?
A
  • |-1|=-1
40
Q
  • |2+1|=?
A
  • |3|=-3
