Let the two numbers be represented by a and b.
Then, ab = 112 so b = 112/a.
And, a + b = -32......substituting for b this becomes :-
a + 112/a = -32........multiplying throughout by a
a2 + 112 = -32a.......re-arranging
a2 + 32a + 112 = 0
This equation factors (a + 4)(a + 28) = 0
When (a + 4) = 0 then a = -4......and thus b = -28
When (a + 28) = 0 then a = -28....and thus b = -4
The two numbers are -4 and -28.
-9 and 20.

All numbers between negative one and zero are negative. When you multiply a number by a negative it becomes negative. Also, all numbers between negative one and zero are decimals. When you multiply a number by a decimal it becomes smaller. Thus, when you multiply a rational number by a number between negative one and zero, it becomes smaller and negative.
A positive number times another positive number will give you a positive answer. If you multiply two negative numbers together, you will also have a positive answer. The only way to get a negative answer is if you multiply a positive by a negative.

No negative number is equal to 15. Also, the only positive number equal to 15 is . . . . . 15.

When you raise a number to a power, you multiply it by itself. If you multiply any number by 1, it does not change. So, when you raise 1 to a power, you just multiply 1 by 1 over and over again. This also applies to negative powers, where you are simply dividing 1 by 1 repeatedly.
Yes, and also a negative integer divided by a negative integer is equal to a positive number (but not necessarily an integer).
This happens because a negative number is dominant over a positive one, so the number will multiply just as if you were multiplying even numbers, but at the end, just put a negative symbol. Also, if you multiply two negatives, they cancel themselves out, and the answer just becomes positive, but that only goes when multiplying an even amount of negative numbers together. For all of these, do the equation the same way, but at the end you may have to just add or take away a negative or positive symbol.
A positive number multiplied by another positive number yields a positive number. A negative number multiplied by another negative number also yields a positive number. Only multiplying a negative number by a positive number (or the other way around) yields a negative number as the product.
