3. Make a Conjecture 6 4 2 0 -2 -4 -6 a. b. -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 What can we now determine from the patterns? Positive times a positive = positive Positive times a negative = negative Negative times a positive = negative Negative times a negative = positive

5. Simplify each expression. a. –3(–11) –3(–11) = 33 The product of two negative numbers is positive. b. –6 ( ) 3434 The product of a positive number and a negative number is negative. –6 ( ) = – 3434 18 4 Ex 1 Multiplying Numbers

6. Evaluate 5rs for r = –18 and s = –5. 5rs = 5(–18)(–5)Substitute –18 for r and –5 for s. = –90(–5)5(–18) results in a negative number, –90. = 450–90(–5) results in a positive number, 450. Ex 2 Evaluating Expressions

8. Use the order of operations to simplify each expression. a. –2 4 = –16Simplify. = 81Simplify. b. (–3) 4 Write as repeated multiplication.–(2 2 2 2) = Write as repeated multiplication.(–3)(–3)(–3)(–3) = Ex 3 Simplify Exponential Expressions

10. Simplify each expression. a.70 ÷ (–5) b.–54 ÷ (–9) The quotient of a positive number and a negative number is negative. = –14 The quotient of a negative number and a negative number is positive. = 6 Ex 4 Dividing Numbers

11. Evaluate – – 4z 2 for x = 4, y = –2, and z = –4. = – 4(16)Simplify the power. –4 –2 = 2 – 64Divide and multiply. = –62Subtract. – – 4z 2 = – 4(–4) 2 Substitute 4 for x, –2 for y, and –4 for z. xyxy –4 –2 Ex 5 Evaluating Expressions

13. Evaluate for p = and r = –. = –2Simplify. prpr 3232 3434 = p ÷ rRewrite the equation. prpr = ÷ Substitute for p and – for r. 3434 ( – ) 3232 3232 3434 = Multiply by –, the reciprocal of –. 4343 ( – ) 3232 4343 3434 Ex 6 Division Using the Reciprocal
