Question

find the sign of product if we multiply together
8 positive and 5 negative integers
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Negative product.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the product of 8 positive integers be 'x'.

And

The five negative integers be -a,-b,-c,-d and -e.

According to the question,

x*(-a*-b*-c*-d*-e)

We know that '-' and '-' equals '+' while multiplying.

Since we have odd numbers of negative sign the product should be negative.

Which implies,

x*(-abcde)

Which equals

-xabcde
