Multiplying Integers

Question 9 • Pre-Algebra - MA3119 A ? Distance Learning

What is the product of any integer and –1?

Answer
A
The product is the opposite of the integer.
B
The product is the integer unchanged.
C
The product is positive.
D
The product is negative.

Explanation

Multiplying an integer by –1 changes it to its additive opposite. For example, 5 × (–1) = –5, and (–5) × (–1) = 5. So the product is the opposite of the integer; it is not always positive or always negative.
