GIVEN: ab is NEGATIVE and bc is POSITIVE
So, (ab)(bc) = (NEGATIVE)(POSITIVE) = NEGATIVE
Simplify left side to get: ab²c = NEGATIVE
Rewrite as: (ac)(
b²) = NEGATIVE
Since
b² must be positive, we can write: (ac)(
POSITIVE) = NEGATIVE
This tells us that ac must be NEGATIVE
So, we get:
Quantity A: NEGATIVE
Quantity B: 0
0 is greater than a NEGATIVE number
