How do you determine if the product is negative or positive for multiplication for maths and integers?
The following rules apply to all real numbers.if either number is zero, then the product is zero.if the signs of two numbers are the same, their product is positive; if the signs are different then the product is negative.for the product of three or more numbers, the associative property can be used to find the product two-at-a-time.
Why -2 times minus 2 equals plus 4?
When two numbers have the same sign, whether plus or minus, their product is positive. When two numbers have opposite signs, their product is negative.
If the product of two numbers is positive then the two numbers must both be positive?
No! If one number is negative and the positive is greater than it's interval (positive version [e.g. the interval of -6 is 6]), then the product will very well be positive. In theory, of course. Sorry, tenth grader speaking... Small error here; product is the result of multiplication. The answer above is correct for a sum, but not a product. The rule for a product is even simpler than for a sum :- If the two numbers have the same signs (both positive or both negative) then the result will be positive. If the numbers have different signs the result will be negative.
