Answer:
a. negative
b. negative
c. positive
Explanation:
a. When a negative and positive integer are being multiplied the product will always be negative. For example, -3*2=-6.
b. Before answering this question it is helpful to realize that it is the exact same as part a. This is because the commutative property states that order does not matter in multiplication. So the answer is also negative, 2*-3=-6.
c. If two negative integers are multiplied then the product will be positive. Whenever two integers of the same sign are multiplied the product is positive. The opposite is true when they have different signs; the product will always be negative. An example of two negative integers would be -3*-2=6.
