Question

15. Write a pair of integers whose sum gives
(i) zero;
(ii) a negative integer;
(iii) an integer smaller than both the integers;
(iv) an integer greater than both the integers;
(v) an integer smaller than only one of the integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)  Consider the integers 8 and −8. Then, we have:

8 + (−8) = 0

(ii) Consider the integers 2 and (−9). Then, we have:

 2 + (−9)= −7, which is a negative integer.

(iii)  Consider the integers −4 and −5. Then, we have:

(−4) + (−5) = −9, which is smaller than −4 and −5.

(iv) Consider the integers 2 and 6. Then, we have:

2 + 6 = 8, which is greater than both 2 and 6.

  (v)  Consider the integers 7 and −4. Then, we have:

7 + (−4) = 3, which is smaller than 7 only.
