The product of two negative numbers is positive is your answer

It is important to first understand the vocab they are using. You might already know these words, but I will write the basic definitions just to make sure. 

Quotient- a number that you get for an answer in a division problem.
Product- a number that you get for an answer in a multiplication problem.

Knowing this, which of the following statements is true?
1. The quotient of two negative numbers is negative. - FALSE ( For example, (-2/-1)=(1) ) a positive number one is our quotient.

2. The product of two negative numbers is positive. - TRUE ( the double negative creates a positive. For example, (-2×-3)= 6. The product "6" is positive.)

3. The quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive. - FALSE ( Ex: (-1÷ 2)= (- \frac{1}{2}) The negative one half is our quotient and it is not positive.

4. The product of two numbers positive numbers is negative. - FALSE you need at a negative number that you in the multiplication in order to get a negative product.


Rule of thumb:

If you have an even amount of negative numbers present in a division or multiplication problem, the negatives will cancel each other out and create a positive outcome(quotient/product). 

If you have no negative numbers at all in a multiplication or division problem you will have a positive outcome. 

If you have an odd number of negative numbers, the outcome will be negative in an multiplication or division problem.

A. What is the circumference of the
erik [133]

Answer:

a) 94.2 cm

b) 78.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) since the square side = 30 cm

it means the diameter = 30 cm

then circumference of the largest circle that can be cut = 3.14×30 = 94.2 cm

b) the perimeter of the square = 30×4 = 120

94.2 for 120

x% for 100%

x = (100×94.2)/120 = 9420/120 = 942/12 = 78.5%

What is the answer to 5+5(x+4)≤20?
Nata [24]
5+5\left( x+4 \right) \le 20\\ \\ 5\left\{ 1+\left( x+4 \right)  \right\} \le 20\\ \\ \frac { 1 }{ 5 } \cdot 5\left\{ 1+\left( x+4 \right)  \right\} \le 20\cdot \frac { 1 }{ 5 }

\ \\ 1+\left( x+4 \right) \le 4\\ \\ 1+x+4\le 4\\ \\ x+5\le 4\\ \\ x\le 4-5\\ \\ x\le -1
