Question

what is the difference between + 0 and - 0

Answer 1

Hey !

0+ stands for any value which is not exactly equal to 0 but it is very very close to it on the positive(+) axis side of 0. The value can be very infinitesmally small and tending to zero only from the +ve axis side of 0 then it is considered as 0+.

eg. : 0.0000001 , 0.000512 etc

All are greater than zero but can be said equal to 0 if rounded off.

Whereas, 0- stands for any value which is not exactly equal to 0 but it is very very close to it on the negative(-) axis side of 0. The value can be very infinitesmally small and tending to zero only from the -ve axis side of 0 then it is considered as 0-.

eg. : -0.0001 . - 0.000099 etc.

All these values are smaller than 0 and are located on -ve axis .

So, the difference of (0+) and (0-) can be any valuue which is greater than zero.

Also in terms of physics we can say +0 means a body has some positive charge on it which is very small tending to 0 whereas -0 means a body has some negative charge which is infinitesmally small but it have a negative or say attractive nature.

If we substract them we will surely get some value greater than 0.

Hope it was helpful.

Thanks.
