Question

Q: Write the rules for determining the sign of the product when multiplying integers. Then, write the the rules for determining the sign of the quotient when diving integers.

I don't need a full answer just help me understand what they mean by the "sign of the product/sign of the quotient"

Answer 1

Here is the rule for multiplication:

Negative * negative = positive; example (-2)*(-2) =+4

Negative* positive = Negative. example (-2)*(2) = -4

Positive * negative = negative; example (2)*(-2) =-4

Positive * positive = Positive ; example (2)*(2) =4

Sign for quotient in division

Negative / Positive = NEgative ; (-2)/(2) =-1

Positive / negative = negative; (2)/(-2) =-1

Negative / negative = positive; (-2)/(-2) =1

positive / positive = positive; (2)/(2)=1

Answer 2

The sign of the product means if it is negative or positive after multiplying. Example: -2 x -2 = 4.
