Answer:

4⋅(−9)⋅(−3)⋅(−1) product is negative,

Explanation:

Given : Numbers .

To find : Which product is negative.

Solution : We have given expression with positive sign and negative sign.

By the integer rule : When we multiplied the even number of negative it become positive .

Example: -a * - b = ab.

When we multiplied the odd number of negative it become negative .

Example: -a * - b* -c = - abc.

This expression have −6⋅(−7)⋅(−8)⋅0 have 3 negative sign but it has 0 so, this expression would be zero.

Then only this 4⋅(−9)⋅(−3)⋅(−1) expression have 3 negative sign

So, its product would be negative.

Therefore, 4⋅(−9)⋅(−3)⋅(−1) product is negative,
