Q1Figure it Out (Section 2.2 - Multiplication of Integers)
Using the token interpretation, find the values of:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Solution
To Find: The values of the given multiplications.
(a)
This means placing 2 negative tokens into a bag 3 times.
This results in negative tokens.
Final Answer:
(b)
This means removing 2 negative tokens from a bag 5 times. To do this, we first add 10 zero pairs (10 positive and 10 negative tokens). Then we remove the 10 negative tokens.
This leaves 10 positive tokens in the bag.
Final Answer:
(c)
This means removing 1 negative token from a bag 4 times. We add 4 zero pairs and remove the 4 negative tokens.
This leaves 4 positive tokens.
Final Answer:
(d)
This means removing 3 positive tokens from a bag 7 times. We add 21 zero pairs and remove the 21 positive tokens.
This leaves 21 negative tokens.

Q3Figure it Out (Section 2.2 - Multiplication of Integers)
Try to frame a simple rule to multiply two integers.
Solution
Rule for Multiplying Two Integers:
- Find the magnitude: Multiply the absolute values of the two integers (ignoring their signs).
- Determine the sign:
- If the two integers have the same sign (both are positive or both are negative), the product is positive.
- If the two integers have different signs (one is positive and the other is negative), the product is negative.
Examples:
- (same signs, positive product)
- (same signs, positive product)
- (different signs, negative product)
- (different signs, negative product)

Q1Questions (Section 2.1 - Additive Inverse)
Using tokens, argue out the following statements.
(a)
(b)
Solution
To Argue: The given statements are true based on the concept of additive inverse.
(a)
Argument:
Subtracting a number is mathematically equivalent to adding its additive inverse.
The additive inverse of an integer 'a' is '-a'.
In this case, the number being subtracted is 18. Its additive inverse is -18.
Therefore, subtracting 18 from 7 is the same as adding -18 to 7.
Verification:
LHS:
RHS:
Since LHS = RHS, the statement is true.
(b)
Argument:
Subtracting a number is equivalent to adding its additive inverse.
The number being subtracted is -12. Its additive inverse is , which is 12.
Therefore, subtracting -12 from 4 is the same as adding 12 to 4.
Verification:
LHS:
RHS:
Since LHS = RHS, the statement is true.
