A negative multiplied by another negative will always give a positive answer. E.g. -4 x - 3 = 12
16
26/3, or 8 2/3.
4.8 x 10-3
You can check this by getting common numerators or denominators for the two fractions. Common numerators: The numerators are 3 and 5. These can be multiplied together to get 15, the new numerator. To get the numerator to equal 15, 3/2 is multiplied by 5/5 to become 15/10. To get the numerator to equal 15, 5/3 is multiplied by 3/3 to become 15/9. 15/9 does not equal 15/10. Common denominators: The denominators are 2 and 3. These can be multiplied together to get 6, the new denominator. To get the denominator to equal 6, 3/2 is multiplied by 3/3 to become 9/6. To get the denominator to equal 6, 5/3 is multiplied by 2/2 to become 10/6. 9/6 doesn't equal 10/6. Both methods show that 3/2 does not equal 5/3.
a3*a-2 = a(3-2) = a
a, a^3*a^-2 is a^3+-2 which equals just a
(2)-1/3 x (4)-1/3 = (2 x 4)-1/3 = (8)-1/3 = 1/81/3 = 1/2
3 * (-2/3) = -2 * (3/3) = -2
-6

Negative 4 multiplied by 3 is equal to negative 12.
5
45.7*10-3 = 0.0457
(x + 4)(x^2 + 3x + 2) = x^3 + 7x^2 + 14x + 8
2 x (-2/3) = -4/3 or -11/3
1/2 * (-3) = 0.5 * (-3) = -1.5
