The expression (−81)(−9) will give the value of 729.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is (−81)(−9)
.
The both numbers in the expression are negative numbers and they are given inside the brackets.
This means that, the negative numbers must be multiplied to get a final value.
The rules in multiplication are :
- Positive number × Positive number = positive number
- Negative number × Positive number = negative number
- Positive number × Negative number = negative number
- Negative number × Negative number = positive number
From the rules, it can be determined that the result of any two negative numbers will be a positive number.
So, eliminate option A) and B) because they have negative sign.
The expression (−81)(−9) = -81 × -9
⇒ 729.
Therefore, the option C) and D) are not in match with 729. None of the options are not the value of the given expression (−81)(−9).
