Using multiplication signal rules, it is found that:
A: Emma's statement is always false.
B: The result is always negative.
C: Emma's statement is always true.
The rule used for this exercise is as follows:
- When two numbers of different signals are multiplied, the result is negative.
- When two numbers have the same signal, the result is positive.
Part A:
- Three numbers are multiplied, all negative.
- The multiplication of the first two result in a positive number.
- Then, this positive number is multiplied by a negative number, and the result will be negative, which mean that Emma's statement is always false.
Two examples are:
Part B:
The rule is that the result is always negative.
Part C:
- The multiplication of the first two negative numbers result in a positive number.
- Then, this positive number is multiplied by another positive number, and the result will be positive, which mean that Emma's statement is always true.
