It depends on the three negative numbers you started with. -- You can multiply them all together. The product is always a negative number. -- You can multiply all of their absolute values together. The product is always a positive number. -- You can multiply two of them, and divide the product by the third one. The result is always a negative number. -- You can multiply two of them, then raise the product to the power of the third one. The result is always a positive number. -- You can divide one of them by another one, then raise the quotient to the power of the third one. The result is always a positive number.
