This is valid through the law of syllogism. If you swap lines 1 and 2, then you'll have this argument:
If I step on a beehive, then I will get stung.
If I get stung by a bee, then it will hurt.
Therefore, if I step on a beehive, then it will hurt
------------------
So it's like connecting a chain together. Point A (stepping on the hive), leads to point B (getting stung), which leads to point C (getting hurt). We can take a shortcut to bypass point B to jump from A to C in one step. Check out the attached image for a visual of what I'm referring to.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expression:
And we want to find its sign given that a>0 and b<0.
Notice that the expression is already negative since we have -4.
a>0 means that a is positive. Therefore, we can ignore it since it won’t do anything.
b<0 means that b is negative. Therefore, we will have two negatives being multiplied together. Hence, this will make a positive.
Therefore, the sign of our expression will be positive.
We can see this with an example. Let a=1 (1>0) and let b=-1 (-1<0). Then:
So, the sign is positive.
Hence, the answer is A.
