If you multiply four negative numbers, what is the sign of the product?

You can test this with numbers, the easiest with -1:

(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = (1)(-1)(-1) = (-1)(-1) =  1

General:

(-a)(-b)(-c)(-d) = abcd

<em>The sign of the product of four negative numbers is </em><u><em>positive</em></u><em>.</em>

If you multiply five negative numbers, what is the sign of the product?

Testing with -1:

(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = (1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = (-1)(-1)(-1) = (1)(-1) -1

General:

(-a)(-b)(-c)(-d)(-e) = -abcde

<em>The sign of the product of five negative numbers is </em><u><em>negative</em></u><em>.</em>

General rule: The product of an even number of negative numbers is positive. The product of an odd number of negative numbers is negative.

Help! this is in algebra 1
Scrat [10]

Answer: I have the pictures attached


Step-by-step explanation:

In order to graph this, we have to get it into this equation: y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y intercept.

y = 3/2x - 4 is already in this form.

2y + 4 = 2 + 3x is not, so we have to isolate y

2y + 4 - 4 = 2 + 3x - 4

2y = -2 + 3x

2y/2 = -2/2 + 3x/2

y = -1 + 3/2x

y = 3/2x - 1

Okay, now graph it knowing your y intercepts and your slopes.

What is the area of the polygon
Paul [167]
Split this figure into 3 shapes: 2 triangles and 1 trapezoid

Area of top triangle = 1/2(7)(2) = 7 square units
Area of bottom triangle = 1/2(3)(7) = 10.5 square units
Area of trapezoid = 1/2(3 + 6)(4) = 18 square units

Area of the polygon = 7 + 10.5 + 18 = 35.5 square units

The graph shows Susan’s distance from her office, in yards, as she runs errands, over time, in minutes.
musickatia [10]
The question is asking how much time Susan spent moving toward her office.  On the graph, the y-axis represents the distance Susan is from her office, so the amount of time she is moving toward her office is the amount of time the graph is going down.

As you can see, the graph is going down from the 10 to 16 minute marks and the 22 to 26 minute marks.  In total, this is 20 minutes in which the graph is going down.

Therefore, Susan spends 20 minutes moving toward her office.
