Take a simple multiplication question such as 2x3
It mean that there are 2 groups and these groups each have 3 things in them (or 3 groups each with 2 things)
So you add the groups up and get 6
Now if you have 2x-3 you have 2 groups and they each have -3 things in them. You add all the negatives 3s up just like you did in the last question and have -6.
It is difficult to imagine -3 things or -6 things, so just think of multiplying by a negative will reverse the sign (kind of like reversing the polarity of battery terminals). So if you reverse them one time (negative X positive) then it is opposite of what it was:
If you multiply a number by a positive, it does not reverse the sign: Positive x something equals the a number with the same sign as the something.
Negative times negative is always a positive.
A positive number multiplied with a negative number will always be negative.
Multiply the number by its self and the answer will always be positive (negative times a negative is positive)
No. A positive times a negative is always negative. A negative times a negative is always a positive.
because you are dividing with same signs
A positive number times a positive number will always get you a positive number A negative number times a negative number will always get you a positive number (same signs will get you a positive number) but A positive number times a negative number will always get you a negative number or A negative number times a positive number will always get you a negative number (different signs will get you a negative number)
Negative times negative is always a positive.
The square of a number is always two numbers multiplied together. A positive times a positive is always positive, and a negative times a negative is always positive.
A positive number multiplied with a negative number will always be negative.
A positive number times a positive number is always positive. A negative number times a negative number is always positive. Therefore, any square number will be positive. Any number to the fourth power (a square times a square) will always be positive. And so on.
-10 x -5 = +50A negative times a negative will always equal a positive number.A negative times a positive will always equal a negative number.A positive times a positive will always equal a positive number.- x - = +- x + = -+ x + = +
Multiply the number by its self and the answer will always be positive (negative times a negative is positive)
No. A positive times a negative is always negative. A negative times a negative is always a positive.
A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.
-12A negative times a positive is always a negative.A negative times a negative is always positive.
A negative times a positive is always a negative. The rest is the same: just multiply as if they are both positive numbers and then add the negative sign at the end.
because you are dividing with same signs
