How is the sign of the quotient determined?(1 point)
Responses
The sign of the quotient is the same as the smaller number.
The sign of the quotient is the same as the smaller number.
The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The quotient is negative if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The quotient is negative if signs of the divisor and dividend are like.
The sign of the quotient is the same as the larger number.
The sign of the quotient is determined by whether the signs of the divisor and dividend are like or unlike. If the signs are the same (both positive or both negative), the quotient will be positive. If the signs are different (one positive and one negative), the quotient will be negative.
so which one is it
I apologize for the duplication in the responses. The correct response is: "The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are like. The quotient is negative if signs of the divisor and dividend are unlike."
The sign of the quotient is determined by the signs of the divisor and dividend. If the signs of the divisor and dividend are the same (both positive or both negative), then the quotient will be positive. However, if the signs of the divisor and dividend are different, then the quotient will be negative. Therefore, the correct statement is: "The quotient is positive if signs of the divisor and dividend are like, and the quotient is negative if signs of the divisor and dividend are unlike."
To determine the sign of the quotient, you need to consider the signs of the divisor and dividend. Here's how:
1. If the signs of the divisor and dividend are the same (both positive or both negative), then the quotient is positive. For example, if you divide -8 by -2, the quotient is positive 4.
2. If the signs of the divisor and dividend are different (one is positive and the other is negative), then the quotient is negative. For example, if you divide 8 by -2, the quotient is negative 4.
Remember that the sign of the quotient is based on the sign of the numbers involved, not necessarily the larger or smaller number.
