Solution

The statement "The product of two negative real numbers is not negative" is true. Here's why:

Step 1: Understand the concept of multiplication Multiplication is a mathematical operation that is a shorthand for repeated addition. For example, 3 multiplied by 2 (3*2) is the same as adding 3 two times (3+3).

Step 2: Understand the concept of negative numbers Negative numbers are less than zero. They are the opposite of positive numbers. For example, if 3 is a positive number, -3 is its negative counterpart.

Step 3: Multiply two negative numbers When you multiply two negative numbers, the negatives cancel out. This is because multiplying a number by -1 flips the sign of the number. So, if you multiply a negative number by another negative number (which is the same as multiplying by -1 twice), the sign flips twice and the number becomes positive.

So, the product of two negative real numbers is a positive number, not a negative number. Therefore, the statement is true.
