Why is the product of a negative number and a positive number negative?
In math, a product is the result of multiplying. Multiplication is distributive over positive and negative numbers, which means, when a negative number is multiplied by a positive number, it always yields a negative result.
What can you conclude about multiplication with negative numbers?
If you multiply a negative number with a positive number, the result will be negative. If you multiply two negatives, the result will be positive.
How is dividing integers similar to multiplying integers with the resulting sign?
The rules for the sign (positive or negative) of the result of a multiplication is the same as division. For multiplication: Positive * Positive --> Positive Positive * Negative --> Negative Negative * Positive --> Negative Negative * Negative --> Positive For division: Positive / Positive --> Positive Positive / Negative --> Negative Negative / Positive --> Negative Negative / Negative --> Positive
What is a positive number divided by a negative number?
when you are dividing 2 numbers with the same sign the answer is ALWAYS positive but when you are dividing 2 number with opposite signs the answer is ALWAYS negitive. the same is true with multiplication also
When multiplying a negative number by a positive number is the result going to be negative or positive?
The result will always be negative. Positive X Positive = Positive Negative X Negative = Positive Positive X Negative = Negative
Is a negative plus a negative a positive?
No. A negative plus a negative will always be negative. Adding negatives just makes them more negative, just like adding positives makes them more positive.If you're thinking of multiplication, then the answer is yes. Like signs result in positive values. Opposite signs result in negative values.
Is a positive number and a negative number will always be negative?

When you multiply a negative number with a positive number what do you get?
When you multiply a negative number by a positive number, the result is always a negative number.

Why does a negative integer raised to an even power always result in a positive integer?
The multiplication rule of thumb always states that a negative number times a negative number results in a positive number. Since an even number is always divisible by two, any value raised to an even integer power will result in a positive number. However, a basic proof is presented as follows: (-A) * (-A) = A^2 ((-A) * (-A)) ^ 2 = ((-A * -A) * (-A * -A)) = A^2 * A^2 = A ^ 4 ...
