Negative number

Final Answer: (a) TRUE (b) TRUE (c) FALSE (d) TRUE ; Explanation: **" The "opposite" of any number is also known as it's " additive inverse" i.e. for any number 'a' the additive inverse is 'a' ". ** (a) TRUE Since let us consider any negative number '-5' then it's opposite is '5' since (-5)+5=0 (b) TRUE this could be seen clearly from the number line. **(c) **FALSE this statement is false since we can take example of zero. the opposite of zero is 0 but 0×0≠1. (d) TRUE since 0-0=0. ;

Is zero positive or negative? Neither, actually. If you think about it, positive numbers are those greater than zero and negative numbers are those less than it. As zero is neither less than or more than zero, it cannot be positive or negative What is -1 times 0 is it -0? Just 0 by the argument I gave above. And what actually happened when you divided by zero? Well you can't, at least not in the real number system. What you can do is take a function 1/x and see what happens when x gets close to 0. When this happens, 1/x blows up to infinity/-infinity. 1/0 in itself is undefined. Think about it. How would you divide 1 chocolate among 0 people?
