Always, never. Since you are multiplying the same number that you are dividing 1 by, they would essentially cancel out and leave you with 1. If a and b are both negative, then because a negative multiplied by another negative is always positive, it would never be equal to -1

never and never

 2 negatives multiplied by each other = a positive number

 lets look at the first one:

 let a = -2

 you then have -2*(1/-2) = -2 * (-.5) = 1 ( positive 1 )

2nd eq, multiply a negative by a negative:

a = -3, b=-4, -3*-4 = 12 ( positive 12)

 both equations give positive numbers for answers

Multiply and simplify: –3x2y2 • x4<br> –3x5y2<br><br> 9x5y2<br><br> –3x6y2<br><br> –3x5y6
Contact [7]

Answer:

Multiplying and simplifying the term -3x^2y^2 \:.\: x^4 we get \mathbf{-3x^6y^2}

Option C is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to multiply and simplify: -3x^2y^2 \:.\: x^4

Simplifying the term:

-3x^2y^2 \:.\: x^4

While multiplying, the variables with same bases are multiplied: a^m\:.\:a^n=a^{m+n}

In the given question only x^2 and x^4 are variables with same bases, So we get:

=-3(x^{2+4})y^2\\=-3x^6y^2

So, multiplying and simplifying the term -3x^2y^2 \:.\: x^4 we get \mathbf{-3x^6y^2}

Option C is correct option.
