. Enter + for positive or ­­­– for negative.(1 point)
$$

Answer 1

To determine the sign of the product of two negative numbers, we apply the rule that states that the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Given the numbers:

• \( -10.4 \) (negative)
• \( -78.2 \) (negative)

Calculating the product:

\[ -10.4 \times -78.2 \]

Since both numbers are negative, their product will be positive.

Hence, the sign of the product is:

\(+\)

So the answer is \(\text{+}\).
