Why isnt there a positive and a negative zero if every other number has a positive and a negative number?

Zero is not a number, but an independent entity. It is an anti-number, and it is nothingness, so it can not be positive or negative.

Because zero is in the middle of positive and negitive. So you could save that the one zero that you have is both negitive and positive

Zero is not a number. A number is a value or the symbol representing a value. Zero has no value.

zero is neutral because zero is neither positive or negative and has no value

Here's another problem (among many others, probably).....absolute value is defined as the distance from 0 to any particular number on the number line.......if we placed  -0  and +0  side by side on the number line, this would be confusing

 

For instance ....  abs(7)   =  7   from +0    but  abs(7)  = 8  from -0   !!!!!

 

One other problem......what would the real numbers between -0  and +0   be denoted as???

 

 

 

cool cool cool

Note to Admin: Urgent need for “Batshit-Stupid” label.

 

 Landry : Zero is not a number. A number is a value or the symbol

representing a value. Zero has no value.

 

Zero does have a value –it’s zero (0), Just as one has a value of one (1), and two has a value of two (2).

 

Zero is a real number. It exists on the number line between one (1) and negative 1 (-1). Using zero in functions of addition, subtraction, and multiplication return real numbers. Dividing zero by a real number returns a real number of zero. 

 

Landry: Zero is not a number, but an independent entity.

It is an anti-number, and it is nothingness, so it can not be positive or negative.

 

Landry, You will end up with a big ZERO of nothingness and anit-reality unless you avoid learning mathematical concepts in liberal arts classes. Reality in that universe is very different from this one.

Zero has no value.  Zero is defined as having no quantity. A value is defined as having a quanitity. Therefore zero has no value. If something is worth no money, it "has no value".  The piece of junk is worth $0, which HAS NO VALUE!
