Is the product of twenty-one negative integers 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.
What is th product of two or more nonzero whole numbers?
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 product of 18 negative factors will be?
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.
What is the sign of the product of an even number of negative factors?
The product will be positive in this case.
When you take a negative number to an odd power you get a negative answer Why do you get a positive answer when you take an odd number to an even power?
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.
How can you tell from the number of factors when a product is positive or negative?
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.
Will a problem with a even number of negative factors have a negative product or positive product?
Positive.

What is the sign of the product of an even number of negative factors?
The product will be positive in this case.
What is the sign of the product of an odd number of negative factors?
even
Does the number of positive factors affect the sign of a product?
No, only the number of negative factors affect its sign.
When you take a negative number to an odd power you get a negative answer Why do you get a positive answer when you take an odd number to an even power?
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.
What is a negative product?
A product that results in a negative number such as multiplication of a positive number with a negative number resulting in a negative number, a negative product.
Is the product of a negative and a positive number depend on which number is larger before you multiply them?
No. The product of a negative number and a positive number is always negative.
What determines the sign of a product?
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.
