Multiplying Integers
When multiplying 2 integers, look at the sign
of each integer:
When the integers have the same sign, their
product is positive.
()

()
()
()
()
()
()
When the integers have different signs, their

product is negative.
6 (3)
These 2 integers have different signs,

so their product is negative.
6 (3) 18
(10) (2)
These 2 integers have the same

sign, so their product is positive.
(10) (2) 20
When an integer
is positive, we do
not have to write
the sign in
front.
Check
1. Will the product be positive or negative?

Multiplying More than 2 Integers

We can multiply more than 2 integers.
Multiply pairs of integers, from left to right.
(1) ( 2) (3) (4)
2 ( 3)
2 (3) (4)

(6) (4)

(1) (2) (3)
The product of 3 negative factors is

negative.
The product of 4 negative factors is

positive.
Multiplying Integers
When the number of negative factors is even, the product is positive.
When the number of negative factors is odd, the product is negative.
We can show products of integers in different ways:
(2) (2) 3 (2) is the same as (2)(2)(3)(2).
So, (2) (2) 3 (2) (2)(2)(3)(2)

To evaluate a power that contains negative integers, identify the base of the power.
Then, apply the rules for multiplying integers.
Example 3
Evaluating Expressions Involving Negative Signs
Identify the base, then evaluate each power.

a) (5)4
The brackets tell us that the base of this

power is (5).

There is an even number of negative

integers, so the product is positive.
There are no brackets. So, the base of this power is 5.

The negative sign applies to the whole expression.

Subtracting Integers
To subtract 2 integers: 3 6
Model the first integer.
Take away the number of tiles equal to the second integer.

We add zero pairs. Add 3
tiles and 3

2.3 Order of Operations with Powers

FOCUS Explain and apply the order of operations with exponents.
We use this order of operations when evaluating an expression with powers:
Do the operations in brackets first.

Evaluate the powers.
Multiply and divide, in order, from left to right.
Add and subtract, in order, from left to right.
We can use the word BEDMAS to help us remember the order of operations:
