Bro what's the point of negative numbers?
I can't have -5 apples.
What is the practical application of numbers below zero?

>> No.11023344

To have a brainlet-level example of an abelian group

This isn't /sqt/ go there.

-/+ is a direction. So When you say you have 5 apple, you are saying ypu have +5 apple. But when you own someome 5 apple means you have - 5 apple. - /+ are used for that in beginning. I think

Negative numbers are a fictional pseudoscience invented by the jews to convince gullible IFLS goys to go into debt at exorbitant interest rates.

true. you can have 5i apples though (if you think about them very hard).

Think about things in a coordinate system. Lets say you have a sin wave, and your origin is in the middle of the wave. How far below or above that line is it?

Negative numbers help preserve dirrections in many other ways. the best way to find out is to enter physics and learn about vectors, or take chem 1 and 2 to learn the difference between positive and negative energy in regard to Heat, activation, and form changes. All of these studies would be much more complicated without negative numbers

Is this true? How do they compensate for that during classes and exams when you give that as reason?
