OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no positive sign either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It does +1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1 represents an object : \(\large \star \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

0 represents NO objects :

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so everytime your right +1++1=+2 no i just go 1+1=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about \(\huge -0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Zero is not negative because negative numbers are defined as "less than zero." Is this statement true? \[0<0\] It can't be, because \(0=0\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it can 0 does equal 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):
