Answer 1

Given

x - y + (- z) where x and z are positive real numbers and y is a negative real number.

Find

i) What are the directions of motion for this calculation ?

ii) Is the final answer positive , negative , or undetermined ?

Step-by-step explanation

i) as we have given

x - y + (- z)

x - y - z

(x - y) - z

right -left - left

ii) for this we take examples

let x = 2 , y = -1 and z = 2

2- (- 1) + (- 2) = 1 , positive

now

let x = 2 , y = -1 and z = 5

2 - (- 1) + (- 5) = 3 - 5 = -2 , negative

so , it is both negative or positive

hence it is undetermined

Final Answer

Hence , the correct option is

i) Right, left , left

ii) Undetermined
