When multiplying integers, if there is an odd number of negative factors, then the product is?

  The product of an odd number of negative factors is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor -1 can be factored from any negative number. Then the product of some number of negative numbers is the product of that number of positive numbers and -1 raised to that power.

An even power of -1 is 1.

An odd power of -1 is -1. So, the product of an odd number of negative factors is negative.

This is helpful to remember when considering the solutions to polynomial inequalities. Once the factored form of the polynomial is found, the solution will depend on the signs of the factors. For example, consider ...

  (x +4)(x -2)(x -3) < 0

The zeros of these factors are -4, 2, 3. At each of these values of x, the sign of one of the factors will change. For x<-4, all three factors are negative, so the inequality is true. For -4<x<2, only two of the factors are negative, so the inequality is false. For 2<x<3, one of the factors is negative, so the inequality is again true. For 3<x, all factors are positive, so the inequality is false. Then the solution is (x < -4) ∪ (2 < x < 3).

See the graph for a plot of this polynomial and the solution to the inequality.

i can not answer the question due to the fact that you spelled "carton" as "cartoon", a cartoon is something you watch on tv, a carton is a box that holds things. and also you've been waiting for this question for a while so why don't you get off your lazy a** and try to figure it out for yourself for once!
