A puzzling equation 2018-12-04
Manny pose la question :
Hello,

Can you explain why this is wrong:
-1 = (-1)^3 = (-1)^{6/2} = ((-1)^6)^{1/2} = (1)^{1/2} = 1 ??

Thank you

Multiplcation of two negative numbers 2007-07-26
Brett pose la question :
Someone asked a question about multiplication and division of two negative numbers yielding a positive result here: http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/qq/database/QQ.09.99/butler1.html I was not fully happy with the explanation b/c I want to give me daughter a real-world example and I can't seem to find one.

The following illustrates why multiplying negative numbers has become difficult to explain:

2 X 2 = 4

----(-4)---(-2)---0---2---4
In this example we start with 2 and then want 2 more of them. When we move across the number line from 2 to our answer, which is four, we have moved only 2 units to the right.

-2 X -2 = 4

----(-4)---(-2)---0---2---4
In this example we start with -2 and then want -2 more of them. When we move across the number line from -2 to our answer, which is four, we have moved 6 units to the right.

How can the phenomenon of multiplying two negative numbers being more powerful than multiplying two positive numbers be explained? -Brett

A negative times a negative 2000-02-29
Michael J. Butler pose la question :
I have reviewed the answer in relation to the question of why (-3)x(-2)=6; however, I am still not able to properly explain the reasoning to my son, Jonathan, who is in grade 7. I want him to understand the reason for the rule that the multiplication or division of two negative numbers equals a positive number. Can you help?
Chris Fisher lui répond.
