yes
If you are multiplying a negative number times a negative number, you multiply regularly but the answer in negative. If you are multipling 2 negatives, you multiply it regularly, again, but the answer is positive, and if u multiply 2 positives, obviously its a positive.
a positive number..... 2 negatives=positive
With an odd number of negative numbers included in the equation, the product is always negative; if there is an even number of negatives, it would be positive. This is because it takes two negatives to cancel each other out and make a positive, but with an odd amount, one is left uncancelled.
Positive, for example -1*-1=1
Any positive number. Whole numbers are all positive and integers are any number including negatives.
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.

If the two numbers you are multiplying are both negatives, the answer will be a positive,(two negatives make a positive).If you multiply a negative and a positive the result willbe a negative,(different symbols will result in negative.============================So, if I can squeeze in here for a second and actually answer the question . . .To multiply a negative number by another negative number, throw away bothnegative signs, and proceed just as if both numbers were positive.
Any even number
If the exponent is an even number you can drop the negative, because is you were to multiply it out the negatives would cancel out.

A negative number squared equals a positive number. When multiplying, odd numbers of negatives result in a negative answer, and even numbers of negatives result in a positive answer.
In mathematics, when you multiply two negative numbers together, the result is a positive number. This is due to the rules of multiplication and the properties of negative numbers. Therefore, in the case of double negatives, they cancel each other out and the result is positive.
Actually it does, whenever you mulitply and divide two negative and two positive numbers they always equal a positive number. When you multiply and divide a negative and positive they always equal a negative number.
