Exponents-negative-and-fractional/220863: i don't get negative numbers please explain 1 solutions Answer 165689 by josmiceli(9661)   on 2009-10-02 19:46:10 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sometime a negative number seems like a ghost and sometimes it's clearly visible. It depends on what you're using them for. (A) Let's say I'm on a railroad track that runs east and west. If I want to, I can say that if I go west, that's positive motion, and if I go east, that's negative motion. OK, I go W 1 mile, I go E 2 miles, then I go W 6 miles. How far am I from where I started? I went W +1 miles I went E -2 miles I went W +6 miles 1 - 2 + 6 = +5 miles I am 5 miles west of where I started. (B) Let's say I owe you $5. I've got the $5, so it's a (+) on my records until it's spent. You're missing the $5, so it's a (-) on your records until I pay it back. What does -$5 look like? Nobody's ever seen one, but recordkeeping can't work without it. Think of it as an empty pocket that only holds a single $5 bill, and you're always reminded that it's empty and needs to be filled. It's the -$5 pocket. Does that help at all? You need to keep thinking about it.
