Question

Which point on the number line represents the product (-4)(-2)(-1)?CD-10 9 8 7-6-54-3-2 -1012345678910wPoint APoint BPoint CPoint D

Answer 1

Point A

Explanation:

We have to solve the following product.

(-4)*(-2)*(-1)

We first solve the first two numbers, then we solve with the third.

(-4)*(-2)

Same signal, so product is positive. 4*2 = 8

Then

(-4)*(-2) = 8

Now

(-4)*(-2)*(-1) = 8*(-1)

8*(-1)

Different signals, so the product is negative. 8*(-1) = -8

The answer of the product is -8, which is represented by point A
