Answer

Not true

Exercise #5

Every positive number is greater than zero

Step-by-Step Solution

The answer is indeed correct, any positive number to the right of zero is inevitably greater than zero.

Answer

True

Exercise #6

The minus sign can be omitted

Step-by-Step Solution

The sign cannot be omitted as it determines whether the number will be negative or positive.

Answer

Not true

Exercise #7

3.98 3.98 and +3.98 +3.98 are two ways of writing the same number.

Step-by-Step Solution

Indeed, both forms are identical since a number without a sign will be positive, as in the case of 3.98

If there is a plus sign before the number, the number is necessarily positive, as in the case of +3.98

Therefore, the answer is correct.

Answer

True

Exercise #8

Does the number 6 -6 appear on the number line to the right of number 2? 2\text{?}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

If we draw a number line, we can see that the number minus 6 is located to the left of the number 2:


-4-4-4555-3-3-3-2-2-2-1-1-1000111222333444-5-5-5-6-6-6Therefore, the answer is not correct.

Answer

No

Exercise #9

All negative numbers appear on the number line to the left of the number 0.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

If we draw a number line, we can see that to the right of zero are positive numbers, and to the left of zero are negative numbers:

-4-4-4555-3-3-3-2-2-2-1-1-1000111222333444

Therefore, the answer is correct.

Answer

True.

Exercise #10

B > A

Exercise #15

True or false?

C > E

AAAKKK-5-5-5BBB-4-4-4CCC-3-3-3DDD-2-2-2EEE-1-1-1FFF000GGG111HHH222III333JJJ444555

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, locate the letters on the number line and see which numbers they represent:

C=3 C=-3

E=1 E=-1

Next, write out their numerical values as an inequality:

-3 > -1

Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer

False
