Exercise 1 Page P12

As we can see, we can apply operations between integers with same or different sign. Let's see what happens in each case.

Sign	Operation	Result	Example
++	Addition	Positive sum	4+4=8
- -	Addition	Negative sum	- 4 + (- 8)= - 12
++	Product	Negative Product	4(4) = 16
--	Product	Positive product	(- 4)(- 4)=16
++	Quotient	Positive quotient	16/4=4
--	Quotient	Positive quotient	- 16/- 4=4

We need to be aware when the signs are different. In that case, we will have the following results.

• If the negative number is greater than the positive number, then their sum will be negative.
• If the positive number is greater than the negative, then their sum will be positive.
• The product of quotient of two numbers having different signs will be negative.
