Lesson 9 Rules for Multiplication & Division of Signed Numbers –Inverse Operations Rules for Multiplication: The product of two positive real numbers is positive real number. In other words a +# x +# = + The product of two negative real numbers is a positive real number. In other words a -- # x -- # = +# The product of two signed real numbers that have opposite signs is a negative real number. In other words + # x -- #=-- and -- # x + #=--
