This is because anything squared is always positive. For example: 1 times 1= 1 and (-1) times (-1)= 1. The only number that when squared will give you a negative number are irrational, such as i. i is equal to the square root of (-1).
The smallest positive integer is 1. 1 is the multiplicative identity; ie anything times 1 is itself. The greatest negative integer is the most positive negative integer which is -1. Therefore the product of the greatest negative integer and the smallest positive integer is the greatest negative integer which is -1.
An Exponent.
There are just three possible cases: Positive integer: positive x positive = positive. Negative integer: negative x negative = positive. Zero: zero x zero = zero.
The product is a perfect square.
It'd be the product squared, since you're multiplying it by itself. the product of a number multiplied by itself is called an Exponent, Power or Square Number

The product is a perfect square.
A square number is the product of an integer multiplied by itself.
No. There is no integer that, when multiplied by itself, produces the answer -36.
A product of two integers is those two numbers multiplied together. If the product is two integers, it is called a square. Two negative integers are multiplied together by multiplying them together just as if they are positive. For example, -3x-3=9. It is exactly the same thing as squaring a positive integer.
Because an integer can only go into itself once. For example: 10/10 is 1. The first 10 is multiplied by 1 to equal 10.
That would be a square. If the number that was multiplied by itself is an integer, it would be a perfect square,
Then, if the exponent is a positive integer, the value is 1 multiplied by the base repeatedly, exponent times. If the exponent is a negative integer then it is the reciprocal of the above value.In either case, it is NOT the base multiplied by itself an exponent number of times.
A perfect square is an integer multiplied by itself.
