Multiplication is repeated addition. So, By the Commutative Property of Multiplication, This example suggests the following rule:
Multiplying Rational Numbers Multiplying Two Numbers with Different Signs The product of two numbers with different signs is negative. Examples:
Multiplying Rational Numbers The product of two positive integers is positive. What is the sign of the product of two negative integers? Use the pattern to find (– 4)(– 1). Each product is 4 more than the previous product. One positive and one negative factor: Negative product Two negative factors: Positive product
Multiplying Rational Numbers This example suggests the following rule. Multiplying Two Numbers with the Same Sign The product of two numbers with the same sign is positive. Examples:
Example 3-1a Find (–8)(–6). same signs positive product Answer: 48 Multiplying Integers
Example 3-1b Find (10)(–11). different signs negative product Answer: –110 Multiplying Integers
Example 3-1c Find each product. a. (–4)(8) b. (–6)(–12) Answer: –32 Answer: 72 Multiplying Integers
