1 00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:05,771 Today we're going to go over the President Rules of arithmetic, 2 00:00:05,771 --> 00:00:09,139 which allow us to workout calculations involving brackets, 3 00:00:09,139 --> 00:00:11,665 powers, division and multiplication, addition and 4 00:00:11,665 --> 00:00:15,875 Subtraction, and let us all arrive at the same answer. 5 00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:20,200 Then afterwards, we're going to go on and do calculations 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,680 involving positive and negative 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,828 numbers. And use rules for addition, subtraction, 8 00:00:25,828 --> 00:00:27,442 multiplication and division. 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,895 But first, let us look at this 10 00:00:30,895 --> 00:00:36,688 expression. It's 2 + 4 * 3 - 1 and let us work at night. 11 00:00:37,650 --> 00:00:42,655 Well, we can work it out first by moving from left to right, 12 00:00:42,655 --> 00:00:47,660 and if we do that then we will add, then multiply and then 13 00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:54,188 subtract. If we do that, we get 2 + 4, which is 6 times by 14 00:00:54,188 --> 00:00:58,555 three. Is it T minus one gives us the answer 17. 15 00:00:59,150 --> 00:01:06,002 But if we change the order, the calculation and we use add 16 00:01:06,002 --> 00:01:08,857 first, then subtract and then 17 00:01:08,857 --> 00:01:15,236 multiply. What answer do we get? Well, 2 + 4 is 6. Do they 18 00:01:15,236 --> 00:01:21,116 subtract next 3 - 1 which is 2 so 6 * 2's answer is 12. 19 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:29,690 Or we could multiply first, then add followed by subtract. 20 00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:34,188 Well, if we multiply first, that's 4 * 3, which is 12. 21 00:01:34,860 --> 00:01:37,776 Do the add 2 + 12 which is 14. 22 00:01:38,290 --> 00:01:41,350 Then subtract the answer is 13. 23 00:01:41,870 --> 00:01:42,998 And so on. 24 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,855 And as you can see, we get different answers according to 25 00:01:47,855 --> 00:01:52,235 the order in which we do the operations, so that's not very 26 00:01:52,235 --> 00:01:56,980 good. So we need to have a presidents in which we know the 27 00:01:56,980 --> 00:01:59,170 order in which we do the 28 00:01:59,170 --> 00:02:02,819 calculation. The order that most people use is. 29 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,348 We do brackets first. 30 00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:07,998 Followed by powers. 31 00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:10,206 And then multiplication 32 00:02:10,206 --> 00:02:13,490 Indovision. Then finally addition and Subtraction. 33 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,858 And that's a lot to remember. 34 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,100 So there's an acronym to allow you to remember it. 35 00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:23,806 And that acronym is barred maths. 36 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:35,830 BODMAS. Be for brackets. 37 00:02:38,210 --> 00:02:40,880 Oh for powers. 38 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,820 Date for 39 00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:49,650 division. An multiplication for the M. 40 00:02:49,650 --> 00:02:56,800 And these two go together 'cause they have the same priority 41 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,378 Avery Edition. And As for subtraction. 42 00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:07,690 And these two go together because they have the same 43 00:03:07,690 --> 00:03:10,515 priority. So if you remember Bob 44 00:03:10,515 --> 00:03:15,773 Maths. FIFA brackets and Overpowers followed by division 45 00:03:15,773 --> 00:03:20,036 and multiplication, and then finally addition and 46 00:03:20,036 --> 00:03:24,856 Subtraction. If you want to calculate any expression, use 47 00:03:24,856 --> 00:03:27,508 that order and you won't go 48 00:03:27,508 --> 00:03:32,264 wrong. So why don't we look at some examples? 49 00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:39,362 Take for example, the first one that we started off with 2 + 4 50 00:03:39,362 --> 00:03:45,214 times by 3 - 1. Now using board maths we should have no problem 51 00:03:45,214 --> 00:03:50,230 working night this expression we do the Times first, so it's two 52 00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:55,246 add 12 - 1 night. The addition and subtraction of the same 53 00:03:55,246 --> 00:04:00,680 order of priority. So we work from left to right. That's 2 + 54 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,442 12 which is 14 - 1 which is 13. 55 00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:07,790 Look at this next example. 56 00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:12,870 Here we've got brackets and using board mass brackets are 57 00:04:12,870 --> 00:04:18,759 done first, so 3 + 5 is it, so our expression becomes two 58 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,930 times it, which is 16. Can be 59 00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:29,032 easier. What about the next one 9 - 6? But I've got to add the 60 00:04:29,032 --> 00:04:34,466 plus one now in this case we've got the subtract and the ad 61 00:04:34,466 --> 00:04:39,418 together. So we've got the same priority. The rule is work from 62 00:04:39,418 --> 00:04:45,504 left to right, so we say 9 - 6 which is 3 add 1 which is 4. 63 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,210 The last two involving powers. 64 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,818 3 + 2 squared while using board Mars again, we do the squares, 65 00:04:55,818 --> 00:05:02,342 the powers first 2 squared is 4, so our expression becomes 3 + 4 66 00:05:02,342 --> 00:05:05,138 and 3 + 4 is 7. 67 00:05:06,370 --> 00:05:08,738 And finally this expression. 68 00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:14,534 3 + 2 all squared. Now we've got powers, an brackets. But 69 00:05:14,534 --> 00:05:18,854 remember using board Mads we do what's inside the brackets 70 00:05:18,854 --> 00:05:22,742 first, so it's 3 + 2 which is 5. 71 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,676 And then we have to square the five which is 25. 72 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,012 Now in these two last examples with the got the same numbers. 73 00:05:32,870 --> 00:05:36,740 And we've got a square, but you've got two totally 74 00:05:36,740 --> 00:05:40,997 different answers. And the reason why is in this one the 75 00:05:40,997 --> 00:05:45,641 square is for the things inside the bracket. The 3 + 2, 76 00:05:45,641 --> 00:05:49,511 whereas in this one this square relates to just the 77 00:05:49,511 --> 00:05:49,898 two. 78 00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:55,721 So remember when you're doing any calculations which involve 79 00:05:55,721 --> 00:05:58,775 operations such as brackets, powers, division, 80 00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:02,847 multiplication, subtraction and addition, use board baths and 81 00:06:02,847 --> 00:06:04,883 you won't go wrong. 82 00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:07,009 What math means? 83 00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:12,628 Brackets first, then powers followed by multiplication and 84 00:06:12,628 --> 00:06:15,292 division. And then addition to 85 00:06:15,292 --> 00:06:19,955 Subtraction. And when you have operations of the same priority. 86 00:06:20,530 --> 00:06:22,630 He just work from left to right. 87 00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:24,668 Nothing could be easier. 88 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,330 And now I will move on to calculations involving positive 89 00:06:30,330 --> 00:06:34,047 and negative numbers. Now what are positive and negative 90 00:06:34,047 --> 00:06:38,590 numbers? Well, if we take all the real numbers except 0. 91 00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:40,519 All real numbers. 92 00:06:41,070 --> 00:06:43,758 Can be. Either positive or 93 00:06:43,758 --> 00:06:46,434 negative, and of course except 0. 94 00:06:47,710 --> 00:06:50,806 Now, where are those numbers? Well, if we 95 00:06:50,806 --> 00:06:52,741 look on a number line. 96 00:06:53,810 --> 00:07:00,223 And position 0 all the positive numbers are to the right. 97 00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:04,538 And all the negative numbers are to the left. 98 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:12,139 And we represent the numbers on the number line like this 99 00:07:12,139 --> 00:07:17,011 positive one, positive 2 positive 3 positive for. 100 00:07:17,650 --> 00:07:19,810 Positive 5 and so on. 101 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:27,000 Negative one negative, two negative, three negative, 102 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,400 four negative 5. 103 00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:35,022 Notice how we've written in numbers, the positive numbers 104 00:07:35,022 --> 00:07:40,002 and the negative numbers. We write positive three like this 105 00:07:40,002 --> 00:07:46,476 and negative for like this. The sign of the number is written as 106 00:07:46,476 --> 00:07:49,220 a superscript. Now we do this. 107 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,722 To help our understanding so that we don't confuse the sign 108 00:07:54,722 --> 00:07:57,254 of the number with addition and 109 00:07:57,254 --> 00:07:59,726 Subtraction. But of course with 110 00:07:59,726 --> 00:08:04,620 practice. We drop this and we just use the normal standard 111 00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:08,404 notation. But for this session I'm going to use the 112 00:08:08,404 --> 00:08:10,240 superscripts just to help our understanding. 113 00:08:12,580 --> 00:08:16,308 But what about calculations involving positive and negative 114 00:08:16,308 --> 00:08:19,570 numbers? What about addition, subtraction, multiplication and 115 00:08:19,570 --> 00:08:25,450 division? Well, I would take some examples. If I take these 116 00:08:25,450 --> 00:08:27,760 two examples, negative four at 117 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,020 positive 5. And. 118 00:08:31,450 --> 00:08:34,463 Positive for. Subtract 119 00:08:34,463 --> 00:08:40,560 positive 9. If I have those two calculations, what do 120 00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:43,380 they work out to be well? 121 00:08:43,890 --> 00:08:47,621 In the first instance, we can use a number line to help us 122 00:08:47,621 --> 00:08:52,930 evaluate them. And we have to remember that using a number 123 00:08:52,930 --> 00:08:57,530 line addition means you kind on in that direction, and 124 00:08:57,530 --> 00:09:01,210 subtraction means you kind back in that direction. 125 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,710 So using those two little rules will calculate this expression 126 00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:09,459 and then this. 127 00:09:10,130 --> 00:09:15,278 So take this one to begin with negative 4. Add positive five. 128 00:09:15,278 --> 00:09:17,852 Start at negative, 4 on the 129 00:09:17,852 --> 00:09:25,104 number line. And kind on five 12345, so it negative 130 00:09:25,104 --> 00:09:32,284 4 add positive 5 gives me the answer positive one. 131 00:09:33,970 --> 00:09:39,107 For the other example, we've got a subtraction, so we started 132 00:09:39,107 --> 00:09:41,442 positive four, and we subtract 133 00:09:41,442 --> 00:09:44,470 positive 9. To start a positive 134 00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:47,820 for. And kind 135 00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:53,968 back 91234. 56789 so 136 00:09:53,968 --> 00:09:56,756 positive for 137 00:09:56,756 --> 00:10:02,128 subtract. Positive 9 gives you negative 5. 138 00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:04,458 It could be simpler. 139 00:10:04,990 --> 00:10:09,324 Now, to simplify matters a little bit further, it really is 140 00:10:09,324 --> 00:10:12,082 a fast to keep writing all these 141 00:10:12,082 --> 00:10:16,425 signs. And because positive numbers are the numbers that we 142 00:10:16,425 --> 00:10:20,330 usually use in calculations, we drop them. We dropped the sign. 143 00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:27,544 So positive 5 can be written is just five, and we know that 144 00:10:27,544 --> 00:10:33,132 positive one is equal to 1 and positive 9 has 9. 145 00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:39,655 And it's understood by everyone that where you have numbers with 146 00:10:39,655 --> 00:10:43,570 no sign written there then they are positive numbers. 147 00:10:44,170 --> 00:10:45,916 And I'm going to use that. 148 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,945 In all my calculations following 149 00:10:48,945 --> 00:10:55,320 on. But if you notice in this calculation and in this 150 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,030 one. We've added and subtracted positive numbers. 151 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,224 But how do we add and subtract 152 00:11:05,224 --> 00:11:12,120 negative numbers? Well, try and generate an easy route. 153 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,542 Going to look at some patterns of both addition and Subtraction 154 00:11:16,542 --> 00:11:18,552 and will start with addition. 155 00:11:19,140 --> 00:11:21,860 And we'll start with something that we know. 156 00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:28,960 If we start with 5 + 2, we know that is 7. 157 00:11:29,690 --> 00:11:33,716 And then I'm going to write a sequence of calculations which 158 00:11:33,716 --> 00:11:35,180 follow on from this. 159 00:11:35,540 --> 00:11:37,568 5 at one. 160 00:11:38,110 --> 00:11:44,150 Is equal to 65. Add zero is equal to 5. 161 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,516 Notice in this sequence of addition the answers decreased 162 00:11:50,516 --> 00:11:56,027 by one. As the numbers that we add decreased by one. 163 00:11:56,610 --> 00:12:00,558 So if we follow the pattern. 164 00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:07,311 We take 5 add negative one because negative one is 0. 165 00:12:07,311 --> 00:12:14,214 Subtract 1 is one less than zero, then it must equal for. If 166 00:12:14,214 --> 00:12:16,869 we continue the pattern on. 167 00:12:17,870 --> 00:12:24,690 And five add negative, two must equal 3 and five ad. 168 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:31,044 Negative three must equal two and five add negative. 169 00:12:31,044 --> 00:12:33,508 Four must equal 1. 170 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,968 Not if we look at these 171 00:12:36,968 --> 00:12:41,688 additions. These additions of negative numbers we can actually 172 00:12:41,688 --> 00:12:45,055 write these calculations as subtractions of positive 173 00:12:45,055 --> 00:12:50,827 numbers, so 5 add negative, one would be the same as five 174 00:12:50,827 --> 00:12:54,194 subtract 1 and you get the same 175 00:12:54,194 --> 00:13:00,664 answer for. Similarly, 5 add negative two can be written as 176 00:13:00,664 --> 00:13:07,216 five subtract 2 and you get the answer 35 add negative. Three 177 00:13:07,216 --> 00:13:10,492 can be written as five, subtract 178 00:13:10,492 --> 00:13:14,178 3. Give me the answer 2 and 179 00:13:14,178 --> 00:13:19,859 then 5. Add negative four is the same as five. Subtract 180 00:13:19,859 --> 00:13:21,623 4, which is one. 181 00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:27,020 So when we have the addition of negative numbers. 182 00:13:28,330 --> 00:13:31,340 That's the same as the subtraction of 183 00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:32,630 the positive number. 184 00:13:33,860 --> 00:13:36,776 So I had these two examples. 185 00:13:37,580 --> 00:13:40,980 It at negative 10. 186 00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:45,572 And negative 9 at 187 00:13:45,572 --> 00:13:49,212 negative 5. Using that 188 00:13:49,212 --> 00:13:52,652 room. Hi, we calculate 189 00:13:52,652 --> 00:13:59,532 the answer. Now we take it add negative 10. That's the same as 190 00:13:59,532 --> 00:14:01,008 it subtract 10. 191 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,276 I'm thinking about the number line. He started it and you go 192 00:14:06,276 --> 00:14:11,326 back 10. So you go back to 0 and then another two you get 193 00:14:11,326 --> 00:14:12,866 to the answer negative 2. 194 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,648 And with this example. 195 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:22,810 Negative nine and negative five. We can rewrite that as negative 196 00:14:22,810 --> 00:14:28,930 9 subtract 5 again. Visualizing it on the number line start at 197 00:14:28,930 --> 00:14:36,500 negative 9. And you go back five, go back five so your 198 00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:38,760 land at negative 14. 199 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,952 So when we have the addition of negative numbers, it's always 200 00:14:45,952 --> 00:14:50,560 easier to change them into subtraction of positive numbers. 201 00:14:51,420 --> 00:14:57,569 But the one thing that we haven't done is the subtraction 202 00:14:57,569 --> 00:14:59,246 of negative numbers. 203 00:15:00,030 --> 00:15:04,905 So again, I'd like to use a pattern to help us workout the 204 00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:07,155 rule that we're going to use. 205 00:15:07,890 --> 00:15:10,669 If we start off with what we 206 00:15:10,669 --> 00:15:13,950 know. 4 subtract 2 is 2. 207 00:15:14,590 --> 00:15:22,240 So 4 subtract 1 is 3 and four subtract 0 208 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,770 is for. 209 00:15:24,890 --> 00:15:29,219 Notice in this sequence of Subtractions, the answers are 210 00:15:29,219 --> 00:15:31,143 going up by one. 211 00:15:32,060 --> 00:15:36,065 As the numbers that we're subtracting decreased by one. 212 00:15:36,860 --> 00:15:42,030 So if we continue the pattern in the calculations, the next 213 00:15:42,030 --> 00:15:47,200 calculation would be 4. Subtract negative one and the answer will 214 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:53,780 be 5. You add one on to the four to make 5, and four 215 00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:55,190 subtract negative 2. 216 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:02,722 Will be 6 and four. Subtract negative. Three would be 7. 217 00:16:03,250 --> 00:16:07,898 And four subtract negative four is it? 218 00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:16,060 Now again. If we look at these subtractions 219 00:16:16,060 --> 00:16:18,235 of negative numbers. 220 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,922 What calculation would be easier to do using the numbers but 221 00:16:23,922 --> 00:16:27,684 still arriving at the same answer when I think it's quite 222 00:16:27,684 --> 00:16:31,145 obvious. For this one, it's for 223 00:16:31,145 --> 00:16:36,383 AD one. And that gives us the answer 5. The numbers of the 224 00:16:36,383 --> 00:16:39,047 same, but the operation and assign are different. 225 00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:44,880 For this one it before add 2 and that will give us 6. 226 00:16:45,450 --> 00:16:49,948 For this one it before at three, and that will give us 7. 227 00:16:50,590 --> 00:16:54,690 And finally, for ad for which will give us it. 228 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:56,960 So. 229 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,600 If we look at our pattern, we can see that when you've got the 230 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,600 subtraction of a negative number, that's the same as the 231 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600 addition of a positive number. 232 00:17:11,540 --> 00:17:17,271 So we'll use that room to workout these calculations if we 233 00:17:17,271 --> 00:17:19,876 take it, subtract negative 10. 234 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,244 And negative 6 subtract 235 00:17:24,244 --> 00:17:31,663 negative 13. What answers do we get if we use our room where 236 00:17:31,663 --> 00:17:36,093 we change the subtraction to addition of a positive number? 237 00:17:36,093 --> 00:17:40,966 So is it plus 10? What could be easier? That's 18. 238 00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:48,012 This one you've got negative 6 add 13 slightly harder, but not 239 00:17:48,012 --> 00:17:53,172 too difficult. They give negative 6 and the number line 240 00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:59,880 and go forward kind on 13. He kind on 6 and then another 241 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:05,040 Seven. So the answer is positive 7 written like that. 242 00:18:07,020 --> 00:18:13,299 So how can we combine all these rooms together in a nice, easy 243 00:18:13,299 --> 00:18:18,129 way for you to remember? Well, this is one way. 244 00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:24,788 If the operation in the sign are the same like this. 245 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,790 Sam 246 00:18:28,170 --> 00:18:31,980 The calculation works like an addition. 247 00:18:33,450 --> 00:18:36,550 Off a positive number. 248 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,252 If the operation and assign are different like this. 249 00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:50,999 Then the operation. 250 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:55,718 Works like this subtraction. 251 00:18:55,940 --> 00:18:59,808 Off a positive number. 252 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,683 Now, if you remember those two Golden rules, then the addition 253 00:19:05,683 --> 00:19:10,013 and subtraction of positive and negative numbers is dead easy. 254 00:19:10,830 --> 00:19:14,950 Now we've talked about addition and subtraction of positive and 255 00:19:14,950 --> 00:19:17,010 negative numbers, but wanna bite 256 00:19:17,010 --> 00:19:22,532 multiplication Indovision. Well, we start with what we know. We 257 00:19:22,532 --> 00:19:28,131 know how to multiply and divide positive numbers. We know that 258 00:19:28,131 --> 00:19:31,185 five times by 5 is 25. 259 00:19:32,060 --> 00:19:35,972 An 5 / 5 is one 260 00:19:35,972 --> 00:19:41,060 dead easy. But what about the multiplication division 261 00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:42,515 of negative numbers? 262 00:19:43,540 --> 00:19:48,204 Well, I'll use patterns the way I did before. In addition, 263 00:19:48,204 --> 00:19:53,288 Subtraction. And I'll start off with this calculation and 264 00:19:53,288 --> 00:19:57,056 continue doing a sequence of multiplications that involve 265 00:19:57,056 --> 00:20:03,179 negative numbers, and we'll see if we can get a rule coming out 266 00:20:03,179 --> 00:20:05,534 from the pattern in the 267 00:20:05,534 --> 00:20:09,904 calculations. For the next calculation here, I'll say this 268 00:20:09,904 --> 00:20:11,994 is 5 times by 4. 269 00:20:12,780 --> 00:20:14,688 And we know that is 20. 270 00:20:15,420 --> 00:20:22,756 Five times by 3:15, five times two is 271 00:20:22,756 --> 00:20:28,892 10. 5 * 1 is 5 and 5 272 00:20:28,892 --> 00:20:31,556 * 0 is not. 273 00:20:32,850 --> 00:20:37,729 I notice in these multiplications the answers. 274 00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:43,184 Are going down by 5 as the number that we times by 275 00:20:43,184 --> 00:20:44,405 decreases by one. 276 00:20:45,220 --> 00:20:50,620 So the next calculation in the sequence would be 5 times by 277 00:20:50,620 --> 00:20:54,740 negative one. And if we use the pattern that have just stated. 278 00:20:55,430 --> 00:21:00,916 We subtract 5 from zero as we subtract 5 from zero, we get 279 00:21:00,916 --> 00:21:05,980 negative 5. The next calculation would be 5 times by negative 2. 280 00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:11,477 Negative 5 subtract 5 is negative 10. 281 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,070 Five times by negative 3. 282 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,685 Negative 10 subtract 5 negative 283 00:21:19,685 --> 00:21:26,504 15. Will do just one more just to see if we can spot the 284 00:21:26,504 --> 00:21:30,784 pattern and the pattern is working five times negative 4. 285 00:21:31,550 --> 00:21:35,528 Take negative 15 and subtract 5. That's negative 20. 286 00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:39,108 So look at. 287 00:21:39,740 --> 00:21:41,864 Our multiplications by a 288 00:21:41,864 --> 00:21:48,818 negative number. We get a negative number answer. 289 00:21:49,490 --> 00:21:54,350 So when we multiply a negative sorry, a negative by a positive. 290 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Will always get a negative answer. 291 00:21:59,940 --> 00:22:04,857 And vice versa if we multiply a negative by a positive. 292 00:22:05,810 --> 00:22:07,278 Will get a negative. 293 00:22:08,290 --> 00:22:11,174 So if I give you these two 294 00:22:11,174 --> 00:22:15,770 examples. 6 times by negative 5. 295 00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,432 Steady, easy to workout. The answer you just multiply the six 296 00:22:21,432 --> 00:22:26,528 by the five to get 30. The signs are different. Remember this is 297 00:22:26,528 --> 00:22:31,232 positive 6 times by negative 5 the two signs are different, so 298 00:22:31,232 --> 00:22:33,584 the answer is a negative number 299 00:22:33,584 --> 00:22:40,694 negative 30. If we take negative four times by three. 300 00:22:41,260 --> 00:22:44,570 Multipliers normal 3/4 or 12. 301 00:22:45,500 --> 00:22:48,900 And then take into account the signs. This is a 302 00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:51,620 negative. This is a positive. 2 signs different. 303 00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:53,320 So the answer is negative. 304 00:22:54,610 --> 00:22:56,650 And the same goes for division. 305 00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:04,380 And we can just double check that by looking at these two 306 00:23:04,380 --> 00:23:08,620 calculations. Negative 30 divided by positive six must 307 00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:10,210 equal negative 5. 308 00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:16,638 And negative 12 divided by positive three must equal 309 00:23:16,638 --> 00:23:17,782 negative 4. 310 00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:24,364 So when the signs are different and you multiply positive and 311 00:23:24,364 --> 00:23:28,604 negative numbers together in pairs, the answer will always be 312 00:23:28,604 --> 00:23:29,876 a negative number. 313 00:23:31,010 --> 00:23:37,544 But we haven't finished just yet. What if you multiply and 314 00:23:37,544 --> 00:23:39,920 divide by negative numbers? 315 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,878 What happens there? 316 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,200 Well, again, I'm going to use patterns. I like using patterns 317 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,040 because it gives me a bit of confidence that I'm doing things 318 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,520 correctly and I always start off with things that I know. So if I 319 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,400 start off with negative five times by positive 4. 320 00:23:58,140 --> 00:24:02,412 I know the answer is negative 20 because the signs are different 321 00:24:02,412 --> 00:24:04,548 and 5 * 4 is 20. 322 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:10,820 Next one in the sequence negative five times by three. 323 00:24:10,820 --> 00:24:17,708 That will give us negative 15 negative 5 * 2 negative, ten 324 00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:24,596 negative 5 * 1 is negative, five negative 5 * 0 is 325 00:24:24,596 --> 00:24:26,318 equal to 0. 326 00:24:27,940 --> 00:24:29,100 Now look at the pattern. 327 00:24:30,620 --> 00:24:35,573 Is a bit like a dejavu. We've done this before. Look at the 328 00:24:35,573 --> 00:24:40,145 answers. You can see that we are increasing by 5 each time 329 00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:44,717 as we multiply by one less each time. That seems a bit 330 00:24:44,717 --> 00:24:46,622 odd, but stay with Maine. 331 00:24:47,970 --> 00:24:52,910 The next multiplication, if we keep the pattern in the 332 00:24:52,910 --> 00:24:57,850 calculations, the same would be negative five times by negative 333 00:24:57,850 --> 00:25:03,140 one. And according to our pattern, that will equal 5 more 334 00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:05,834 than zero, which is positive 5. 335 00:25:06,590 --> 00:25:11,430 Negative five times negative 2, which is the next calculation in 336 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:16,270 sequence. That would be five more than five, which is 10. 337 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,600 Negative five times by negative 338 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,350 3. Is 15th. 339 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,674 Negative five times negative four is 20. 340 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:35,801 So. It's really great. See that when we multiply negative 341 00:25:35,801 --> 00:25:37,917 numbers together in pairs. 342 00:25:38,420 --> 00:25:40,620 We get a positive answer. 343 00:25:41,740 --> 00:25:46,051 Negative by negative gives it a positive negative negative 344 00:25:46,051 --> 00:25:48,925 positive, negative negative positive negative negative 345 00:25:48,925 --> 00:25:54,194 positive is not great. Dead easy. So if I had this 346 00:25:54,194 --> 00:25:58,505 calculation negative 6 times by negative three, you multipliers 347 00:25:58,505 --> 00:26:04,732 normal. 6 * 3 is it teen? And the answer is positive positive 348 00:26:04,732 --> 00:26:09,043 via team because it's two negatives makes the positive. 349 00:26:09,570 --> 00:26:16,370 And the same goes with this one. If we had 350 00:26:16,370 --> 00:26:19,770 negative 9 times by negative 351 00:26:19,770 --> 00:26:22,040 229382. Two negatives. 352 00:26:22,590 --> 00:26:26,358 The answer is a positive, so again we get the same answer 353 00:26:26,358 --> 00:26:28,870 it team but different numbers in the calculation. 354 00:26:29,910 --> 00:26:33,620 But remember where else did we get a positive answer? 355 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,055 When you multiplied 2 positive 356 00:26:37,055 --> 00:26:41,440 numbers together. So if you multiplied 6 by three, you'll 357 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,055 get it team and when you multiplied 9 by two you get it 358 00:26:46,055 --> 00:26:49,725 too. So when the signs of 359 00:26:49,725 --> 00:26:54,935 the same. Then the answer will be positive whether they are 360 00:26:54,935 --> 00:26:58,095 two negatives be multiplied together or two positive 361 00:26:58,095 --> 00:26:59,675 numbers being multiplied together. 362 00:27:00,790 --> 00:27:07,450 And that's a lot to take in for multiplication and 363 00:27:07,450 --> 00:27:10,114 division of negative numbers. 364 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:16,060 I'd like to summarize that bit by again using a diagram when 365 00:27:16,060 --> 00:27:18,535 the signs of the sea. 366 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:27,328 A positive times by a positive or a negative times by a 367 00:27:27,328 --> 00:27:30,170 negative. The 368 00:27:30,170 --> 00:27:33,810 answer. Is 369 00:27:33,810 --> 00:27:40,856 positive. Is a positive number when the signs 370 00:27:40,856 --> 00:27:48,021 are different. I positive times by a negative or 371 00:27:48,021 --> 00:27:51,536 a negative times by a 372 00:27:51,536 --> 00:27:54,270 positive. The answer. 373 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,460 Is negative. 374 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:07,154 And the same goes the same rules go if you divide. 375 00:28:07,950 --> 00:28:15,142 So if I had 376 00:28:15,142 --> 00:28:22,685 these examples. Negative 6 divided 377 00:28:22,685 --> 00:28:26,870 by. Negative 2. 378 00:28:28,730 --> 00:28:34,666 My answer will be do the division first 6 / 2, which is 3 379 00:28:34,666 --> 00:28:38,906 and then think about the signs negative negative signs saying 380 00:28:38,906 --> 00:28:41,026 so. The answer is positive. 381 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:49,210 And if we had this division negative 12 divided by 382 00:28:49,210 --> 00:28:55,130 positive 3. Do the division is normal 12 / 3 is for. 383 00:28:55,650 --> 00:28:58,314 Think of the signs signs, different 384 00:28:58,314 --> 00:29:00,978 negative and a positive. So the 385 00:29:00,978 --> 00:29:02,310 answer is negative.
