Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a question related to the properties of numbers, specifically focusing on addition and multiplication. Participants explore the relationships between positive and negative numbers and the concept of values that exist between them.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Some participants express confusion regarding the original question and attempt to clarify the existence and properties of numbers, particularly focusing on the relationships between positive and negative values. Others question the significance of having a number "between" positive and negative numbers, leading to inquiries about specific values and their relationships.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring various interpretations of the question. There is an attempt to clarify concepts and relationships, but no consensus has been reached regarding the original inquiry or the implications of having a number between positive and negative values.

Contextual Notes

Participants are considering the implications of numbers that lie between positive and negative values, as well as the mathematical operations involving these numbers. There is a mention of specific examples and potential values, but the context remains somewhat ambiguous.

I'm kind of confused by your question, but:
2 exists and it's positive (2=+2)
and if x=1 then -1+x+1=1
and -1x1=-1

I don't quite understand your question.
What would be the use of having a number "between"?

studentxlol said:
-1, 1, +1
-2, 2, +2

What would these be?

[tex](-1) + (-1)=~?[/tex]
[tex](1) + (1)=~?[/tex]
[tex](+1) + (+1)=~?[/tex]

I'm thinking like there has to be something in between a positive and negative number that links those two numbers together so like.. -2, x +2 what is x??

A value between -2 and 2 would be 0.
