Integer Operations and Their Rules

This video tutorial covers the basics of multiplying integers, using real-world examples like erosion and board games to illustrate concepts. It explains how to use a number line for visualization and provides multiple examples of multiplying negative and positive integers. The lesson concludes with practice problems and a summary of key multiplication rules.

Why can't the product of a positive and a negative integer be positive?

• Because it always results in a number to the left of zero

• Because it always results in a number to the right of zero

• Because it results in a positive number

• Because it results in zero
