What is the sign of the product? (0.3)(–9.2)(–8.1)(4.2)(–0.8) A. negative B. positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since there is an even number of negative values, it is positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you can you help with more?

pooja195 (pooja195):

its an odd number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(something)(-something) = - something now you have - something (-something)(-something) = + something now we have + something (+something)(-something) = - something but you can also see the odd number of negative signs so it'll be negative

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Which one do you think it is? I also do go over this in my tutorial. It should help.

What is the value of the expression when p = –16 and q = 4? 4p _____ q

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4(-16) }{ 4 } = ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try again, what's missing here?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

\(\huge\frac{ 4(-16) }{ 4 } = ?\) You're supposed to multiple -16(4) Once you get that, divide your answer by 4.

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Same thing as what iambatman said above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh! ok thank you

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is -16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive because (-)(-)(+)(-)(-) all negatives cancel
