Question

time: -3 seconds, elevation: -3 × -25 m
we found the rocket’s elevation 5 seconds and 3 seconds before the stopwatch was started.
-5 × -25 = 125 m
-3 × -25 = 75 m
multiplying negative time by a negative rate results in a
elevation. negative times negative equals

Explanation:

Step1: Recall multiplication rule

The rule for multiplying two negative numbers is that a negative times a negative equals a positive. For example, when we have - 3× - 25, we know that the product will be positive.

Step2: Calculate the product

-3× - 25 = 75 (since 3×25 = 75 and the signs are both negative, the result is positive). Similarly, -5× - 25=125.

Answer:

Positive; positive
