Answer:
\textsf{ab} > \textsf{0}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given:
\textsf{a} > \textsf{0 and b} > \textsf{0}

Find:
\textsf{ab } \_\_\_ \textsf{ 0}

Solution: Since we know both a and b are positive this means that if they are multiplied against each other they would produce another positive. Therefore, this would cause the statement to be ab > 0.
