1)if x and y are distinct negative integers greater than -10,what is the greatest possible product of x and y
a)2 b)4 c)72 d)81 e)90

• c is the correct answer.two distinct possible numbers r (-9 and -8).so,product is (-9)*(-8)=72.

• -9*-8=72
  becaUSE -10

• c is the best suited answer..becoz 2 distinct possible no.s are -9 & -8 so required answer will be(-9*-8)=72

• given two distinct negative integers greter than -10.-9 is greater than -10.
  -9*-9=81, it is greatest product
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(23)
• C. because -8 * -9 = 72.
  -8 & -9 are distinct greater numbers than -10.
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• distinct negative integers greater than -10 are -9 & -8
  So the greatest possible product is = 72
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• greatest possible is 72...
  conditions are : 1. numbers are greater than -10
  2. they are negative !!!
  so number maybe from -1 to -9
  it can be (-2*-1)=2
  (-4*-1=4)
  -9*-8=72 (answer and because its greater than others )

• Answer is c:
  Let X be -9 and Y be -8: -9*-8=72
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
• above -10 is -9
  there fore -9*-9=81(ans)
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(12)
• _8 and _9 and the product is 72
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 72...as num greater than -10 are..-9,-8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1..product of two nos =-9*-8=72
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• -8*-9=72
  so ans is c

• 72
  -8 * -9
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• the greatest possible no which is greater than -10 is -9 .but since in the qs its given that the nos are distinct so we ll consider -9 an the next -8 and so their product results in 72
