Multiplication or division of two numbers of opposite signs: negative*positive, positive*negative, negative/positive, and positive/negative.

Addition of two negative numbers: -5 + -2 = -7

Multiplying pure imaginary numbers of the same 'sign' : 5i * 2i = -10. -3i * -4i = -12.

Dividing pure imaginary numbers of different signs (this comes from the fact that 1/i = -i, and i/i = +1)
