the product of negative 1/3 ⁵⁰

The expression is :


(-(1)/(3))^(50)

Since the product of negative to negative is positive

and negative x negative x negative = negative

Thus, if we multiply the negative upto odd number times the resultant will be negative

if we multiply the negative upto even number times the resultant will be positive

In the given expression we multiply (-1/3) upto 50 times

50 is the even number so the the resultant value will be positive

Answer : Positive

becasue if we multiply the negative upto odd number times the resultant will be negative & if we multiply the negative upto even number times the resultant will be positive
