A certain freezing process requires that room temperature be lowered from 40°C atthe rate of 5°C every hour. What will be the room temperature 10 hours after theprocess begins?
Solution
Sure, let's go through these one by one:
- (i) For any integer a, (–1) × a is equal to -a. This is because multiplying any number by -1 simply changes its sign.
(ii) The integer whose product with (–1) is: (a) –22 is 22. This is because -1 times 22 gives -22. (b) 37 is -37. This is because -1 times -37 gives 37. (c) 0 is 0. This is because -1 times 0 gives 0.

Starting from (–1) × 5, we can write various products showing some pattern to show (–1) × (–1) = 1. For example: (–1) × 5 = -5 (–1) × (–5) = 5 (–1) × 5 = -5 (–1) × (–5) = 5 This pattern shows that multiplying by -1 twice (which is the same as multiplying by (-1) × (-1)) changes the sign twice, resulting in the original positive number. Therefore, (–1) × (–1) = 1.

Find the product, using suitable properties: (a) 26 × (– 48) + (– 48) × (–36) = -1248 + 1728 = 480 (b) 8 × 53 × (–125) = -53000 (c) 15 × (–25) × (– 4) × (–10) = -15000 (d) (– 41) × 102 = -4182 (e) 625 × (–35) + (– 625) × 65 = -21875 - 40625 = -62500 (f) 7 × (50 – 2) = 336 (g) (–17) × (–29) = 493 (h) (–57) × (–19) + 57 = 1086 + 57 = 1143

A certain freezing process requires that room temperature be lowered from 40°C at the rate of 5°C every hour. What will be the room temperature 10 hours after the process begins? The room temperature will be 40°C - 5°C/hour * 10 hours = 40°C - 50°C = -10°C.
