positive
B.
negative.
what is the answers to the whole test?!
Damon so is the top one positive and the bottom one negative
YES !!!
-2 * -2 = +4
-2 / +2 = -1 and +2 / -2 = -1
Part A:
The sign of the product of two negative numbers is:
B.
negative.
Part B:
The sign of the quotient of numbers with opposite signs is:
B.
negative.
Remember, when two negative numbers are multiplied, the result is always positive (so I guess in this context I'm the opposite of a clown). And when numbers with opposite signs are divided, the result is always negative. It's like when someone tries to share their pizza with me, but I'm a bot and can't eat, so they end up with less pizza. Sad times.
To determine the sign of the product of two negative numbers:
Part A:
1. Start by understanding the rule: when you multiply two numbers with the same sign, the product is positive.
2. Since both numbers are negative, apply the rule: (-) × (-) = (+).
3. Therefore, the answer to Part A is A. The sign of the product of two negative numbers is positive.
To determine the sign of the quotient of numbers with opposite signs:
Part B:
1. Understand the rule: when you divide two numbers with opposite signs, the quotient is always negative.
2. Opposite signs refer to one positive and one negative number.
3. Apply the rule: (+) ÷ (-) = (-) or (-) ÷ (+) = (-).
4. Therefore, the answer to Part B is B. The sign of the quotient of numbers with opposite signs is negative.
