Driving along a negative direction,

-40 mph

40 mph west instead of east.

I spin around 180,

times (-1)

times nothing, I turned the vehicle to face
west, now I am driving east at 40 mph.

then I spin around 180 again.

times (-1)

Times nothing again,
I turned around and I am back to driving
west again.

Guess what, I am still driving in the negative direction.

equals -40 mph

Still a positive 40 mph in the west direction.

Excellent!

(-40)*(-1)*(-1) = -40

So, you got the above correct.

Now tell us the answer to (-40)*(-1)

Which direction are you driving?

I don't multiply by -1 to change direction.
I turn 180 degrees and I am still doing a positive
40 mph in the new direction.
(no multiplication (of my speed) occuring at all)

Why do you multiply for a change of direction?
How does "change of direction" get turned into
a multiplication at all?
Do you truly think 180 degrees = -1 ?
That is real silly.
I am glad you can make up such imaginary math.
180 = -1..
Great Stuff!

Jim, try this:

Multiplication by positive whole numbers amounts to repeated addition,
as shown:
20 x 5 = 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 100
35 x 2 = 35 + 35 = 70
21 x 2 = 21 + 21 = 42
-2 x 2 = -2 + -2 = -4, don't you agree?

Ben,
Again you are ignoring the fact that negatives are simply
positives in the other direction.
If you do not wish to think about such.
Then please keep thinking that
q * q can equal f in the numberline below.
q||||||||||0||||||||||f
If you can't grasp what is illogical in that type thought
then please forget trying to teach me the way I know
already (your way), and just ignore the "alternative logical"
math I have shown you.
:)
You seem to think I can't do the math your way also.
That is totally wrong.
I know all about the "imaginary methods to find square roots"
I also at least can see why it is illogical and the imaginary part
is needed at all.
I am sorry you do not want to try to figure out a more
logical method that does not need imaginary crap at all.
:)
