Form a conjecture about the following statement.
"The sum of two negative numbers. A. Outcome is negative. B. Outcome is neutral.
C. Outcome is positive
D. No conjecture can be made.
To form a conjecture about the given statement, let's break it down and analyze the possible outcomes.
The statement says "The sum of two negative numbers."
To find the sum of two negative numbers, you can consider any pair of negative numbers and add them together. Let's take an example: -4 and -7.
Adding -4 and -7, we get (-4) + (-7) = -11.
From this example, we see that the sum of two negative numbers (-4 and -7) results in a negative number (-11).
Based on this example, we can form the following conjecture:
Conjecture: The sum of two negative numbers is always negative.
Therefore, the correct answer to choose is:
A. Outcome is negative.
