Question

3. Which of the following statements are true and which are false? (1 mark)

(i) The product of a positive and a negative integer is negative.

(ii) The product of two negative integers is a negative integer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

i) True

ii) False

Answer 2

Answer: When a positive integer and a negative integer are added, we can get a positive or negative integer.

Therefore, statement 1 is false.

Fro example: −4+3=−1 or 4+(−3)=1

And when two negative integers are added, we get a negative integer.

∴ Statement 2 is false.

For example: −3+(−4)=−7
