The product of negative number and a positive number is always a negative. The product of two positive numbers, or two negative numbers, is always a positive.
In mathematics, the term "product" refers to the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. When you see the phrase "product is plus or minus," it typically means that the result of the multiplication can be either positive or negative, depending on the signs of the numbers being multiplied. For example, when you multiply a positive number by a positive number, the product is positive. When you multiply a negative number by a negative number, the product is also positive.
because you can get a positive number as EITHER a product of 2 positive numbers OR the product of the negatives of the SAME 2 numbers; the product of 2 negative numbers is positive.
No. The sum of two negative numbers will always be a negative number. If, however, you multiply the numbers, their product will be positive.
Well, honey, buckle up because we're diving into some math! When you multiply an odd number of negative numbers, the product is negative. Since 21 is an odd number, the product of 21 negative numbers will be negative. And since 23 is an odd number as well, the product of 23 positive numbers will also be positive. So, when you multiply them together, you get a negative number. Math, ain't it a peach?
