Positive, because the products (3) 3) and (-2)(4) are negativeand the product of two negative numbers is positive
Positive because the products (3)(-3) and (-2)(4) are positive and the product of two positive numbers is positive
Negative, because the products (3)-3) and (-2)(4) are negative, and the product of tivo negative numbers is negative
Negative, because the products (3)-3) and (-2)(4) are positive and the product of two positive numbers is negative

Answer 1

The sign of the product will be positive.

Explanation:

You are going to end with a positive result because there are two positive numbers and two negative numbers.

When you multiply two negatives, -3 and -2, you get a positive.

When you multiply two positives, 3 and 4, you get a positive.

Multiply the positive result from the two negatives with the positive result from the two positive and you get another positive.

More proof:

(3)(-3)(-2)(4) = (3)(4)(-3)(-2)

3 * 4 = 12

- 3 * (- 2) = 6

12 * 6 = 72

Answer 2

Positive

Explanation;

Positive, because the products (3) (-3) and (-2)(4) are negative and the product of two negative numbers is positive.

When 3 and -3 are multiplied together they give a value of -9 which is a negative value and the product of (-2) and (4) will also give -8 which is also a negative number. Also note that the product of two negative number will give a positive number as such the product of the resulting values which is -9 and -8 will give +72 (which is a positive number).
