False.

positive x positive = positive

positive x negative = negative

negative x positive = negative

negative x negative = positive

Every 2 negative factors provides a positive result, so if there are an odd number of negative factors, there are 2n + 1 of them which means the 2n would provide a positive factor to be multiplied by the final negative factor which gives a negative result.

Is the product of 21 negative numbers and 23 positive numbers a positive number or a negative number?

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?

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.
