Question

Which is a pair of integers whose sum gives

(a) a negative integer (b) zero

(c) an integer smaller than both the integers.

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

Answer 1

An integer is any whole mathematical number that is not a fraction. Integer can be a positive number, negative or zero.

The answer for the questions:

a) Sum of two numbers that gives an a negative integer:

3 + (-4) = -1
2 + (-5) = -3
4 + (-6) = -2

b) zero

4+(-4)=0
3+(-3)=0

C) an integer smaller than both integers:

(-1) + (-1) = -2
(-2) + (-3) = -5
(-4) + (-7) = -11

D)An integer smaller than only one of the integers:

3 + (-2) = 1
1 + (-1) = 0

E) An integer greater than both integer:

1 + 2 = 3
4 + 6 = 10
3 + 5 = 8
7 + 2 = 9
