Product of three negative and two positive numbers: Negative product
-1 x -1 = 1 x -1 = -1 x +1 = -1 x +1 = -1
Product of three positive and two negative numbers: Positive product
+1 x +1 = +1 x +1 = +1 x -1 = -1 x -1 = +1
Product of five positive and five negative numbers: Negative product
+1 x +1 = +1 x +1 = +1 x +1 = +1 x +1 = +1 x -1 = -1 x - 1 = +1 x -1 = -1 x -1 = +1 x -1 = -1
EXPLANATION:
If you multiply a positive (+) to a positive (+), it will remain positive (+).
The same goes if you multiply a negative (-) to a negative (-).
But if you multiply a positive (+) to a negative (-) or vice versa, it will become negative.
