If you multiply four negative numbers, what is the sign of the product? if you multiply five negative numbers, what is the sign of the product? based on the answers to these questions and the product rules, write a general rule for the sign of the product based on the number of negative numbers in the expression.

4 negatives:

(1)negative x (2)negative = positive x (3)negative = negative x (4)negative = positive

5 negatives:

(1)negative x (2)negative = positive x (3)negative = negative x (4)negative = positive x (5) negative = negative

 even number of negatives would equal a positive answer

odd number of negatives would equal a negative answer

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
