Well, let me put on my math clown nose and try to calculate this for you.
To determine the sign, we need to check whether the number of negative signs is even or odd. In this case, we have one negative sign, so it's an odd number.
And you know, odd negative signs are like odd socks - they're a bit strange and don't match anything. So, the sign of the product is negative! Cue the sad clown music.
So, the answer is negative.
To determine the sign of the product of 17 and (-1/10), you need to follow a few steps:
1. Multiply the two numbers: 17 × (-1/10) = -1.7.
2. Since the product is a negative number (-1.7), we can conclude that the sign of the product is negative.
So, the correct answer is: negative.
