To multiply rational numbers.

The rules for multiplying numbers are different from adding and subtracting numbers.

You need to keep the rules for adding and subtracting numbers in your head.

Keep those rules separate from the multiplying numbers rules we are about to discuss.

Remember multiplying numbers is actually a quick way of adding numbers by grouping them.

The product of two numbers having the same sign is positive.The product of two numbers having different signs in negative.

The short-and-sweet is that multiplying rational numbers is just the same as all the multiplying you have done before.

The only new additions to the rules-of-old are the following:

1. A positive times a positive is a positive.

3. A negative times a negative is a positive.3. A positive times a negative is a negative.

4. A negative times a positive is a negative

EXAMPLE: Find each product.

a. (-9.8)4 b. 3 2

4 3

Negative times positive yields negative.All that is left is to multiply 9.8 by 4 and put a negative sign on the result.

(9.8)4 = 39.2 -39.2

Negative times negative yields a positive.Multiply the numbers.

What does it mean? Let’s write them out:

1) -5(2) = Take away 5 groups of +2.

2) 3(-2) = Add 3 groups of -2.

3) -5(-4) = Take away 5 groups of -4.

4) -8(1) = Take away 8 groups of +1.

To prove that the product of a negative number and a positive number is negative, write the problem as repeated addition.

4(-10) =

2(-6) =

4(-3) =

7(-2) =

21(-1) =

Multiplying Rational Numbers

(-6) + (-6) = -12

(-3) + (-3) + (-3) + (-3) = -12

(-2) + (-2) + (-2) + (-2) + (-2) + (-2) + (-2) = -14

(-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = -21

(-10) + (-10) + (-10) + (-10) = -40

Example

Solve r = -8(-9)

r = -8(-9) The two factors have the same sign.

Example

Solve r = -8(-9)

r = -8(-9) The two factors have the same sign.

r = 72 The product is positive.

When we have a negative number such as -4, one can think of this as “the opposite of” +4. So when we have a multiplication problem such as -4 X 5, we can think of it as “the opposite of” 4 X 5. 4 X 5 is 20. What is the opposite of 20? Our answer would be negative 20.

-(4 X 5)

-(4 X -(5))

-(-(20))

Example

Solve q = -2(-3)(-11)

q = -2(-3)(-11) There are three negative factors.

q = -2(-3)(-11) Three is odd.

Example

Solve q = -2(-3)(-11)

q = -2(-3)(-11) There are three negative factors.

q = -2(-3)(-11) Three is odd.

q = -2(33)

q = -66 The product will be negative.

Positive times negative yields a negative.

Multiplying with letters, so letter configuration will change.

Multiply the numbers.

First term will be negative; second positive.Multiply the numbers in both terms.

2 * 3 = 6

a’s and b’s form new letter configuration: abSo, the answer - keeping the sign in mind - is:

-6ab

3 * 3 = 9 and 6 * 2 = 12Now handle the changes in letter configurations.

x * y = xy and x * y = xy

Bring it all together.Combine like terms.

-9xy + 12xy = 3xy
