  1. $-8$

  2. $+8$

  3. $-12$

  4. $+12$


Correct Option: D

The product of two negative numbers is always a positive number.


So, $-6×(-2)= +12$


So option D is the correct answer.

If ${ B }^{ 3 }A< 0$ and $A> 0$, which of the following must be negative?

  1. $AB$

  2. ${ B }^{ 2 }A$

  3. ${B}^{4}$

  4. $\cfrac { A }{ { B }^{ 2 } } $

  5. $-\cfrac { B }{ A } $


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If $A$ is positive ${B}^{3}$ must be negative. Therefore, $B$ must be negative. If $A$ is positive and $B$ is negative, the product $AB$ must be negative.

Evaluate:$144\div-12$

  1. $12$

  2. $-12$

  3. $1$

  4. $2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The positive integer $144$ can be divided by a negative integer $-12$ as follows:

$144\div -12=-\dfrac { 144 }{ 12 } =-12$

Evaluate:$-456\div12$

  1. $38$

  2. $-38$

  3. $1$

  4. $2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The negative integer $-456$ can be divided by a positive integer $12$ as follows:

$-456\div 12=-\dfrac { 456 }{ 12 } =-38$

Hence, $-456\div 12=-38$

Simplify to its nearest integer.
