4) Complete each statement about multiplying positive and negative integers using the word positive or negative. Then provide an example for each statement. a. positive \( \cdot \) positive \( = \) \qquad b. positive , negative \( = \) \qquad c. negative - negative \( = \) \qquad

Let's complete each statement about multiplying positive and negative integers and provide examples for each. a. positive \( \cdot \) positive \( = \) **positive** - **Example:** \( 3 \cdot 4 = 12 \) (Both numbers are positive, and the product is positive.) b. positive \( \cdot \) negative \( = \) **negative** - **Example:** \( 5 \cdot (-2) = -10 \) (One number is positive and the other is negative, resulting in a negative product.) c. negative \( \cdot \) negative \( = \) **positive** - **Example:** \( (-3) \cdot (-4) = 12 \) (Both numbers are negative, and the product is positive.) In summary: - Positive times positive equals positive. - Positive times negative equals negative. - Negative times negative equals positive.
