A useful tip for determining the sign of an algebraic expression is to consider the signs of each term individually and then apply the following rules:
1. Multiplication
- Positive × Positive = Positive
- Positive × Negative = Negative
- Negative × Negative = Positive
2. Division
- Positive ÷ Positive = Positive
- Positive ÷ Negative = Negative
- Negative ÷ Negative = Positive
By consistently applying these rules, you can accurately determine the signs of algebraic expressions.
