Question

In the previous problem, Ken predicted a drop in

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, an integer is a whole number that can be either positive, negative or zero.

Now, a drop in temperature signifies a reduction in the temperature.

This means that if for example, the current temperature is 50 °C, a drop in temperature of 10°C would mean that the current temperature would be gotten by subtracting 10 from 50.

Now,current temperature after drop would be;

T = 50 - 10

To prove that it is gotten by adding a negative integer:

This can also be written as;

T = 50 + (-10)

Because from mathematical multiplication signs, minus multiplied by plus gives minus.

Since, T = 50 + (-10), it means that a negative integer of minus 10 has been added to the initial temperature to get the new decreased temperature.
