Calculate (-2)×(-1/2): Determining the Product's Sign

Question

What will be the sign of the result of the next exercise?

$(-2)\cdot(-\frac{1}{2})=$

00:00 What will be the sign of the result?

00:09 Negative times negative always equals positive

00:17 And this is the solution to the question

Let's recall the law:

$(-x)\times(-x)=+x$

Therefore, the sign of the exercise result will be positive:

$-2\times-\frac{1}{2}=+1$

Positive
