Explanation

While 'negeer' isn't *wrong*, 'ontken' (to deny) is a more common and clearer way to express negation in Afrikaans, especially in a mathematical or programming context. Needs native speaker confirmation.

Issue breakdown

accuracy Potentially misleading. 'Negeer' primarily means 'to ignore'. While it *can* mean negation in a mathematical context, it's not the most natural or common term.
