(The product of 33 negative numbers) x (2 positive numbers) = (negative sign) x (positive sign) = negative sign
A product is the answer when you multiply numbers or terms together. The product of two positive numbers is positive. ie. 2x2=4. The product of two negative numbers is positive. ie -(2)x(-2)=4 The product of a negative number and positive number is a negative number. ie. (-2)x 2=-4 In general, multiply the numbers as you normally would, and if the signs are different. the product is negative. If the signs are all the same, the product is positive. Remember that if a negative number is outside brackets, the question might be approached a bit differently.
If you know that the product of 2 negative numbers is positive, then the product of 4 negative numbers has to be positive. The product of the first two negative numbers is positive and the next two negative numbers is positive. Multiplying the product of the first two numbers (positive number) and the product of the last two numbers (also positive), is a positive number times a positive number which is positive. Let a, b, c and d be negative numbers: (a*b*c*d) = (a*b)*(c*d) (-ve*-ve*-ve*-ve)=(-ve*-ve)*(-ve*-ve)= (+ve)*(+ve) = (+ve)
If all three numbers are positive then the product obviously has to be positive. If TWO of the three numbers are negative, then the product is also positive. But if exactly ONE of the three numbers is negative or if all THREE are negative, then the product must be negative. In general, a product of numbers is negative if an ODD NUMBER of the terms is negative.

because you can get a positive number as EITHER a product of 2 positive numbers OR the product of the negatives of the SAME 2 numbers; the product of 2 negative numbers is positive.

In mathematics, the term "product" refers to the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. When you see the phrase "product is plus or minus," it typically means that the result of the multiplication can be either positive or negative, depending on the signs of the numbers being multiplied. For example, when you multiply a positive number by a positive number, the product is positive. When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the product is also positive.

Any 2 negative numbers, whether even or odd, when multiplied are positive
Yes. A product is the result of one number multiplied by another. For example: 5 x -2 = -10 If you multiply two numbers of the same sign (+ positive or - negative), the product will be positive. For example: -5 x -2 = 10 (positive)
13 1+3=4 1-3=-2
a multiple, as follows:positive * positive = positivepositive * negative = negativenegative * negative = positivemore than 2 numbers:positive * positive * positive = positivepositive * positive * negative = negativepositive * negative * negative = positivenegative * negative * negative = negativeand so on...also, (any number) * 0 = 0
factors are the numbers you multiply together to get a product in a multiplication problem. a positive times a positive = a positive a positive times a negative = a negative a negative times a negative = a positive since you are looking for negative 10, you need one factor to be positive and one to be negative. this could be: -1*10 -10*1 -2*5 -5*2
When you multiply two negative numbers together, the result is a positive number. This is because each negative number can be thought of as the opposite of a positive number. So, when you multiply -2 by -2, you are essentially finding the product of the opposite of 2 and the opposite of 2, which results in a positive 4.
