    The document contains rules for performing operations on signed numbers and laws of exponents. For signed numbers, the sign of the sum or difference is determined by the sign of the number with the greater magnitude. For multiplication or division, the product or quotient is positive if the signs are the same and negative if the signs are different. The laws of exponents state that: any number to the power of 1 is the number itself; when like bases are multiplied or divided, the exponents are added or subtracted; when the same base is raised to successive powers, the exponents are multiplied; a fraction with the same base can be written as a single exponent with the numerator's exponent minus the denominator's; and a number raised to a

    A.

    SIGN RULES

     Addition
    To add 2 or more numbers having like sign, simply
    add the numbers and copy the common sign.

    Ex. 1. ( 5 ) + ( 11 ) + ( 8 ) + ( 10 ) = 34
    2. ( - 12 ) + ( - 15 ) + ( - 9 ) + ( - 4 ) = - 40

    To add 2 or more numbers having unlike sign,


    simply subtract the numbers and copy the sign of
    the bigger number.

    Ex. 1. ( 7 ) + ( - 13 ) + ( - 17 ) + ( 14 ) = - 9
    2. ( - 10 ) + ( - 8 ) + ( 12 ) + ( - 9 ) = - 15

     Subtraction
    To subtract sign numbers, change the sign of the
    subtrahend and then proceed to addition.

    Ex. 1. ( - 15 ) – ( - 21 ) = 6
    2. ( 11 ) – ( - 7 ) – ( 14 ) – ( 5 ) = - 1

     Multiplication and Division


    To multiply or divide 2 numbers having like sign,
    simply multiply or divide and prefix positive ( + ).

    Ex. 1. ( 3 ) ( 11 ) = 33
    2. ( - 108 ) / ( - 9 ) = 12
    3. ( - 2 ) ( - 4 ) = 8
    4. ( 125 ) / ( 25 ) = 5

    To multiply or divide 2 numbers having unlike sign,


    simply multiply or divide and prefix negative ( - ).

    Ex. 1. ( - 7 ) ( 9 ) = - 63
    2. ( 12 ) ( - 6 ) = - 72
    3. ( - 45 ) / ( 9 ) = - 5
    4. ( 64 ) / ( - 16 ) = - 4

    B. LAWS of EXPONENTS

    x = 1

     xm . xn = xm+n

     x7 . x4 = x11
     3x . 4x3 = 12x4
     2/3x2 . 1/3x5 = 2/9x7
     ( 0.4x3 ) ( 0.11x2 ) = 0.044x5

     ( xm )n = xmn

     ( x5 )3 = x15
     ( 3x3 )3 = 27x9
     ( 4/5x2 )2 = 16/25x4
     ( 0.4x5 )3 = 0.064x15
     ( 9x4 )3/2 = 27x6
     ( 27x3y6 )2/3 = 9x2y4

     xn / xm = xn-m

     x6 / x3 = x3
     8x7 / 4x4 = 2x3
     4/7x8 / 5/7x5 = 4/5x3

     x-n = 1 / xn

     x11 / x15 = 1 / x4
     12x7 / 6x10 = 2 / x3
     24x4y5 / 8x4y7 = 3 / y2
