Non-Positive and Non-Negative Numbers
The word _negative_ has been replaced by _non-positive_ in the following facts about negative numbers. Which of these statements are still true for non-positive numbers?
Indicate **all** such statements.
That's right!
[[snippet]]
Since the sum of negative numbers is negative, you only need to consider what happens when adding 0. Adding 0 does not change the value, so the sum of two non-positive numbers will always be non-positive.
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]
Non-positive numbers include 0, and the product of any number and 0 is 0. Since 0 is not positive, the product of two non-positive numbers does not need to be positive.
Incorrect.
[[snippet]]
Division by 0 is undefined, so $$\frac{1}{x}$$ is undefined when _x_ = 0, which is a non-positive value.
The sum of two non-positive numbers is non-positive.
The product of two non-positive numbers is positive.
$$\frac{1}{x}$$ is defined for all non-positive values of _x_.
