    Here's a trinomial with a negative constant and binomial factors with constants with opposite signs:

    x^2+x-6 = (x+3) (x-2)

    We could write that one - (-x-3) (x-2) but that's not really the product of two binomials.

    So it's true they have opposite signs, but that's because opposites multiply to a negative, wrong explanation in the answer, let's say false.

    False.

    Two numbers with opposite signs have a negative product NOT positive product.
