Chapter 02 – Lesson 03 Multiplying Rational Numbers
2-3 MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS To multiply rational numbers. OBJECTIVES 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.
2-3 MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS 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. 2)  A positive times a negative is a negative. 3)  A negative times a negative is a positive. Commit these three new additions to memory. The product of two numbers having the same sign is positive. The product of two numbers having different signs in negative. 2.6.1  MULTIPLYING TWO RATIONAL NUMBERS
2-3MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS EXAMPLE 1 α :   Find each product. a.   (-9.8)4 b.   EX1 β 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. Reduce. EXAMPLE 1 β :   Find each product. a.   b.   (-1.4)7
2-3MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS EXAMPLE 2 α :   Evaluate  if a = 2. EX2 β EXAMPLE 2 β :   Evaluate  if a = 3.  Plug 2 in for a. Exponent. Multiply. Multiply again. Reduce.
2-3 MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS EXAMPLE 3 α :   Simplify each expression. a.   (2b)(-3a) b.   3x(-3y) + (-6x)(-2y) EX3 β EXAMPLE 3 β :   Simplify each expression. a.   (-2a)(3b) + (4a)(-6b) b.   (5x)(-3y) + (-7x)(4y)  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:  ab So, the answer - keeping the sign in mind - is: -6ab 3 * 3 = 9 and 6 * 2 = 12 Now handle the changes in letter configurations. x * y = xy and x * y = xy Bring it all together. Combine like terms. -9xy + 12xy = 3xy
Question:   What is -1 times 5? Answer:  -5 Question:   What is -1 times -14? Answer:  14 Question:   So what does multiplying by -1 do to any number? Answer:  Multiplying by -1 changes only the sign of a number. 2-3 MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS The product of any number and -1 is its additive inverse. -1(a) = -a and a(-1) = -a 2.6.2  MULTIPLICATIVE PROPERTY OF -1
2-3MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS EXAMPLE 4 α :   Find EX4 β Handle the first pair. We now have: Handle the first pair. No reduction is needed. We now have: Handle the first pair. No reduction is needed. We now have: Finally the answer!
2-6 MULTIPLYING RATIONAL NUMBERS EXAMPLE 4 β :   Multiply. a. b.
