DART statement: I can multiply integers.
Commutative Property of Multiplication The commutative property of multiplication states that two numbers can be multiplied in either order.
Example 4 x 3 = _____ 3 x 4 = _____
Multiplying Integers with Different Signs The product of two integers with DIFFERENT signs is NEGATIVE!
Examples 6(-4) = (7) = ? -35 is correct!
Try these… 9(-2) They have different signs. So, will the product be positive or negative? Negative! 9(-2) = -18
On your own. 4(-6) -8(7) -5(12)
Multiplying Integers with the Same Sign The product of two integers with the SAME sign is POSITIVE!
POSITIVE X POSITIVE = POSITIVE NEGATIVE X NEGATIVE = POSITIVE NEGATIVE X POSITIVE = NEGATIVE POSITIVE X NEGATIVE = NEGATIVE
6(5) -6(-5) -6(5) 6(-5)
