Question. 119

119. Give one example for each (many answers possible):

(a) A positive and a negative integer whose sum is a negative integer.

(b) A positive and a negative integer whose sum is a positive integer.

(c) A positive and a negative integer whose difference is a negative integer.

(d) A positive and a negative integer whose difference is a positive integer.

(e) Two integers smaller than −5 but their difference is −5.

(f) Two integers greater than −10 but their sum is smaller than −10.

(g) Two integers greater than −4 but their difference is smaller than −4.

(h) Two integers smaller than −6 but their difference is greater than −6.

(i) Two negative integers whose difference is 7.

(j) Two integers such that one is smaller than −11 and the other is greater than −11 but their difference is −11.

(k) Two integers whose product is smaller than both the integers.

(l) Two integers whose product is greater than both the integers.

Answer:

(a) 4 + (−6) = −2

(b) 8 + (−2) = 6

(c) −7 − 2 = −9

(d) 4 − (−3) = 7

(e) −12 − (−7) = −5

(f) −4 + (−7) = −11 < −10

(g) −1 − 4 = −5 < −4

(h) −8 − (−9) = 1 > −6

(i) −2 − (−10) = 8

(j) −20 − (−9) = −11

(k) −3 × 5 = −15

(l) 4 × 6 = 24

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Each example satisfies the stated condition; many other choices are possible.
