CHAPTER 1 DIRECTED NUMBERS

1.1 Multiplication and Division of Integers.

Multiplication
1. 5 x 3 = 15
2. 5 x (-3) = -15
3. (-5) x 3 = -15
4. (-5) x (-3) = 15
5. (-5) x 0 = 0
6. 5 x 0 = 0

Division
1. 6 3 = 2
2. 6 (-3) = -2
3. (-6) 3 = -2
4. (-6) (-3) = 2
5. (-6) 0 = undefined
6. 0 (-6) = 0
7. 0 0 = undefined
