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.
a. positive $$ \cdot $$ positive $$ = $$ positive - **Example:** $$ 3 \cdot 4 = 12 $$ b. positive $$ \cdot $$ negative $$ = $$ negative - **Example:** $$ 5 \cdot (-2) = -10 $$ c. negative $$ \cdot $$ negative $$ = $$ positive - **Example:** $$ (-3) \cdot (-4) = 12 $$
