Pregunta 66

Select all statements that are true about the product (-2) * (-3) * (-1) * (-5).

  1. The product is 30.Respuesta correcta
  2. The product is -30, because the factor written last is negative.
  3. The product is positive, because the count of negative factors is even.Respuesta correcta
  4. The product is negative, because each of the four factors is negative.

Explicación

Each negative factor flips the running result across zero once, so four flips return it to the positive side, and multiplying the sizes two by three by one by five gives thirty. Reading the sign off the factor written last, or off the observation that every factor is negative, misses that the flips cancel in pairs.
