Question

Write a pair of integers whose difference gives. (a) a negative integer. (b) zero. (c) an integer smaller than both the integer. (d) an integer smaller than only one of the integers. (e) an integer greater than both the integers.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)5 and 8

(b)5 and 5

(c) 7 and 5

(d)6 and 2

(e)6 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)a negative integer

We consider the integers 5 and 8

Difference = 5-8 =-3

3 is a negative integer.

(b)Zero

We consider the integers 5 and 5

Difference = 5-5 =0

(c) an integer smaller than both the integer.

We consider the integers 7 and 5

Difference = 7-5 =2

2 is smaller than both integers.

(d) an integer smaller than only one of the integers.

We consider the integers 6 and 2

Difference =6-2=4

4 is smaller than only 6.

(e)an integer greater than both the integers

We consider the integers 6 and -2

Difference =6-(-2)=6+2=8

8 is greater than both 6 and -2.
