- John knows that multiplying a number by — 1 merely changes the sign ofthe number. He reasons that multiplying a number by an even power of — 1 will change the sign of the number an even number of times. Heconcludes that this is equivalent to multiplying a number by + 1 , so that every even power of -1 is equal to a +1?arrow_forwardand sub question d?arrow_forwardWhile traveling to his grandmother's for Christmas, George fell asleep halfway through the journey.
