numbers (integers, fractions, and terminating decimals) and
take positive rational numbers to whole-number powers.
2 Simple Rules
Multiplying & Dividing
Two Integers
1. Same signs = positive
2. Different signs = negative
Examples
4(3)
Both signs are positive so answer is
positive = 12
5(-2)
Different signs, so answer will be
negative-- = -10
(-4)(-6)
(-3)²
Same signs, so answer will be
positive = 24
-3 times -3, so same signs mean
positive answer = 9

Multiplication
-8 ● (-y) =
8y
10 ● (-a)
-10a
Because a negative
times a negative
equals a positive, your
answer is positive
(-11)(-w)
11w
Here, negative times a
positive equals a
negative
Remember: the dot and parentheses next
to a number or letter means to multiply.

Sports Application
A golfer plays 5 holes. On 3 holes, he is 4 strokes over par. On
2 holes, he is 4 strokes under par. Each score over par can be
represented by a positive integer, and each score under par
can be represented by a negative integer. Find the total score
relative to par.

Sports Application
A golfer plays 7 holes. On 3 holes, he has a gain of 3 strokes.
On 4 holes, he is 3 strokes under par. Each score over par can
be represented by a positive integer, and each score under
par can be represented by a negative integer. Find the total
score relative to par.
