What is the rule for multiplying and dividing integers with unlike and like signs?
Like signs give a positive answer. Unlike signs give a negative answer.
Can the same rules be used to determine the sign of an integer sum and an integer product?
No.For the sum of integers:-- two positives make a positive-- two negatives make a negative-- the sum of mixed signs is the sign of the one with the greater absolute valueFor the product of integers:-- like signs make a positive-- unlike signs make a negative
What is the sign of the product of two integers with different signs?
for integers with tow different signs, it will always be negative in multiplying and division. for adding and subtracting, the sign is for the bigger number.
What is the rule for subtracting integers with the same signs?
if the signs are the same you must add its opposite.
What is the rule for multiplying integers with different signs?
Multiply two integers disregarding the signs. Then if the signs are the same, the answer is positive and if the signs are different, the answer is negative. Alternatively, if you are multiplying together a whole bunch of numbers, first find the product while ignoring the signs. Then count all the negative numbers. If the count is even, the answer is positive and if it is odd, the answer is negative.
