What is the sign of the product when you multiply four integers?
The sign of the product of four integers depends on the signs of the individual integers. There are 4 cases: 1) When all 4 integers share the same sign and all are non-zero (either all are positive or all are negative), the product is positive. 2) When 3 of the 4 integers share the same sign and all are non-zero (3 are positive and 1 is negative; or 3 are negative and 1 is positive), the product is negative. 3) When 2 of the integers are positive non-zero and the other 2 of the integers are negative non-zero, the product is positive. 4) If even one of the integers is zero, the product is zero (no sign - it is neither positive nor negative).
What is the product of a possitive and a negative integers?
The product is negative.
Is the product of two negative integers always negative?
That is false. The product of two negative integers is always positive.
How can you tell the sign of a product of more than two integers?
If there is any zero in the set of integers, their product is zero.If there is an odd number of negative integers, then the product is negative, whereas if there is an even number of negative values, the product is positive.
What can you conclude about the signs of two integers whose product is positive and negative?
The product of two integers cannot be "positive and negative".
