Question

(-1)X 12 times=(-1) to the 12th power. Will these products be negative or positive?

Answer 1

`(-1)x*(-1)^(12)\implies -x*(-1)^(2+2+2+2+2+2) \\\\\\ -x*(-1)^2 (-1)^2 (-1)^2 (-1)^2 (-1)^2 (-1)^2 \implies -x* 1\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdot 1\implies -x`

bear in mind that any value raised to an even power, will always positivize.
