Proposition: Multiplying Negative and Positive Real Numbers
The multiplication of negative and positive real numbers follows the following rules:
- A positive real number times a positive real number gives a positive real number, symbolically
\[( + )\cdot ( + )=( + )\]
- A negative real number times a positive real number gives a negative real number.
\[( - )\cdot ( + )=( - )\]
- A negative real number times a negative real number gives a positive real number.
\[( - )\cdot ( - )=( + )\]
- Zero times any real number gives zero.
\[( 0 )\cdot ( \pm )=( 0 )\]
