The product will be positive in this case.
Yes. The product of an odd number (21, in this case) of negative factors will be negative; if the number of negative factors is even, the product will be positive.
If an even number of negative factors are multiplied together (such as 18 factors), the answer will be positive. If there are an odd number of negative factors, the answer will be negative.
The product is also a whole number. If the (number of positive factors) minus the (number of negative factors) is zero or an even number, then the product is positive. Otherwise the product is negative.
When you raise a negative number to an odd power, the multiplication of an odd number of negative factors results in a negative product. In contrast, raising a negative number to an even power involves multiplying it by itself an even number of times, which pairs up the negative factors to yield a positive product. This is due to the fact that multiplying two negative numbers produces a positive result. Thus, the overall effect of multiplying an even number of negative factors is positive.
Due to the sign rules for multiplication, if you multiply several negative numbers, you'll get a result that is alternately negative, positive, negative, positive, etc.
If you are multiplying negative numbers, an odd number of factors will have a negative product. An even number of factors will have a positive product.
negative
False. The product of an odd number of negatives is negative.
Yes. The product of an odd number (21, in this case) of negative factors will be negative; if the number of negative factors is even, the product will be positive.
It will be even.
Positive.
If an even number of negative factors are multiplied together (such as 18 factors), the answer will be positive. If there are an odd number of negative factors, the answer will be negative.
even
The product is also a whole number. If the (number of positive factors) minus the (number of negative factors) is zero or an even number, then the product is positive. Otherwise the product is negative.
The sign of the factors. These are the rules: * If there is a zero factor, the product is zero. * If there is an even number of negative factors (two, four, six, etc. odd factors), the product is positive. * If there is an odd number of negative factors (one, three, five, etc. odd factors), the productd is negative.
Due to the sign rules for multiplication, if you multiply several negative numbers, you'll get a result that is alternately negative, positive, negative, positive, etc.
A positive integer.
