Question

Explain why the product of an integer multiplied by itself cannot be negative.

Answer 1

An integer is defined as any whole number from -infinity to infinity.

Therefore, there are three cases
1. The integer is 0
2. The integer is positive
3. The integer is negative

1. If the integer is zero, zero * zero is zero, which is not negative.

2. If the integer is positive, a positive number times a positive number is always a positive number.

3. If the integer is negative, a negative number times a negative number is always a positive number.
