Cool Negative Multiplication Ideas
Cool Negative Multiplication Ideas. For multiplying the negative exponents, the first step is to convert the negative exponents to their fractional form and proceed. 5 ⋅ 3 = 5 + 5 + 5.
It doesn’t matter which order the positive and negative numbers are in that you are multiplying, the answer is always a negative number. No videos or articles available in this lesson; We can extend the pattern into the green section.
The Only Question Is Whether The Sign Is Positive Or Negative.

Let's do multiplying something by negative three so we'll repeatedly subtract that thing three times whatever that thing is so now the thing isn't a positive two so the thing over here is a positive two but the thing we're going to subtract is a negative two so let me make it clear, this says we are going to subtract something three times, so.
For Those Curious Enough, Here's Why That Rule Was Set To Be What It Is.
Let’s look at a few simple examples. 8 2 can be called 8 to the second power, 8 to the power 2. − 5 ⋅ 3 = ( − 5) + ( − 5) + ( − 5) above in both the cases multiplier is positive.in case of multiplier is negative how will you express following as repeated addition.
