True or false if x is positive and y equals -x then xy is negative?
Yes, multiplying a Positive value by a Negative value always yields a Negative product.
How do the rules for multiplying integers compare to the rules for dividing integers?
The product of two positive integers or two negative integers is positive.The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative.The quotient of two positive integers or two negative integers is positive.The quotient of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative.You multiply or divide integers just as you do whole numbers, except you must keep track of the signs. To multiply or divide signed integers, always multiply or divide the absolute values and use these rules to determine the sign of the answer.When you multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer positive.Positive x positive = positiveNegative x negative = positiveWhen you multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative. Just multiply the absolute values and make the answer negative.Positive x negative = negativeNegative x positive = negativeWhen you divide two integers with the same sign, the result is always positive. Just divide the absolute values and make the answer positive.Positive ÷ positive = positiveNegative ÷ negative = positiveWhen you divide two integers with different signs, the result is always negative.

What is the rule for multiplying and dividing integers?
i dunno if this is the answer youre looking for. negative x negative = positive negative x positive = negative positive x positive = positive same thing with dividing integers its really simple.
What are the rules multiplying integers?
Positive x Positive =Positive Positive x Negative= Negative Negative x Positive= Negative Negative x Negative =Positive
True or false if x is positive and y equals -x then xy is negative?
Yes, multiplying a Positive value by a Negative value always yields a Negative product.
The larger of 2 positive integers is 5 more than twice the smaller integer The product of the integers is 52 find the integers?
y=2x+5 xy=52 x(2x+5)=52 2x2+5x-52=0 (2x+13)(x-4)=0 x=-6.5 or x=4 Since you specified positive integers, x=4. y=2*4+5=13 So, the two numbers are 13 and 4.
How do you multiply integers having unlike sign?
Positive x Positive = Positive Negative x Negative = Positive Positive x Negative = Negative Basically if the signs are the same, the answer will always be positive, and if the signs are different the answer will be negative. Hope this helps.

Show that the set of integers with respect to multiplication is not a group?
To be a group, the set of integers with multiplication has to satisfy certain axioms: - Associativity: for all integers x,y and z: x(yz) = (xy)z - Identity element: there exists some integer e such that for all integers x: ex=xe=x - Inverse elements: for every integer x, there exists an integer y such that xy=yx=e, where e is the identity element The associativity is satisfied and 1 is clearly the identity element, however no integer other than 1 has an inverse as in the integers xy = 1 implies x=y=1
What are the rules multiplying integers?
Positive x Positive =Positive Positive x Negative= Negative Negative x Positive= Negative Negative x Negative =Positive
What is the product of a negative integer and a negative integer?
A negative integer multiplied by a negative integer is always a positive integer product. -x * -y = xy
Is the product of three positive integers is positive?
No. Odd numbers of negative integers will have a negative product. Even numbers of negative integers will have a positive product.Examples-1 x -3 x -4 = -12-3 x -4 = 12
How are multiplying integers and dividing integers alike?
a negative x a negative= a positive, a positive x a positive= a positive, a negative x a positive= a negative, and a positive x a negative= a negative. Same thing with division. a negative divided by a negative= a positive, a positive divided by a positive= a positive, a negative divided by a positive= a negative, and a positive divided by a negative is a negative. U see?
How do you multiplies and divides integers?
Multiplying and dividing integers is real easy. All you have to do is do regular dividing and multiplying keeping in mind these simple rules: RULES: 1: When multiplying or dividing integers, when the numbers are a positive, positive they equal a positive. When the numbers are negative, negative they equal a positive. In other words, same signs equal positive. 2: This rule is very similar to the rule above. The only change is that when the signs are different, they equal a negative. ( negative, positive= negative, positive, negative= negative.) Please correct me if I'm wrong. Multiply integers- my notes from class positive x positive= positive positive x negative= negative negative x negative= positive Divide integers- again my notes from class positive divided by a positive= positive negative divided by a negative= positive negative divided by a positive= negative Dividing integers are simple if the number has a different sign than the other it is always negative but if they have the same sign its always positive ex. -20/5=-4 ex. -20/-4=-5
