Question

11. What is the sign of the product of any odd number of
negative integers? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The sign of the product of any odd number of negative integers is positive because when two minuses are multiplied with each other, it will result in a positive number.

For example:

• -3 x -5
• => -1 x -1 x (3 x 5)
• => 1 x (3 x 5)
• => 15 (Which is positive)
