Clayton · Answer 1

A + 2b

Since, information is needed regarding the product, we must only consider 2b.

the answer of a multiplication equation is called product.

The sign of the product depends on the sign of b.

b = 2 so 2*2 = 4. the sign of four depends on whether b is positive or negative.

If b is positive then, 2 * 2 = 4; product is positive

if b is negative then, 2 * - 2 = - 4; product is negative

the sign of a has no bearing on the sign of the product of 2b.
