Chapter 1-4 Sign of the Product Rule The product of two numbers with like signs is a positive number. The product of two numbers with unlike signs is a negative number. Example: a.) 4( – 5) = – 20 b.) ( – 6)(7) = -42 c.) ( – 9)(-3) = 27

Chapter 1-5 Helpful Hint At this point some students begin confusing problems like -2 – 3 with (-2)(-3) and problems like 2-3 and (-2)(-3). Make sure you understand the difference between these problems. Subtraction Problems – 2 – 3 = – 5 2- 3 = – 1 Multiplication Problems (-2) ( – 3) = 6 (2)(-3)= – 6

Chapter 1-7 Helpful Hint (+)(+) = + (–)(–) = + (+)(–) = – (–)(+) = – Like signs give positive products and quotients. Unlike signs give negative products and quotients. For multiplication and division of two real numbers:

Chapter 1-8 Remove Negative Signs from Denominators If a and b represent any real numbers, b  0, then We generally do not write fractions with a negative sign in the denominator. When a negative sign appears in a denominator, we can move it to the numerator or place it in front of the fraction. The fraction would be written as or.
