What is the product of (17) x (-19)?

To find the product of ( (17) \times (-19) ), you multiply the two numbers together while considering the negative sign.

First, multiply the absolute values of the numbers:

• ( 17 \times 19 = 323 )

Next, since one of the numbers is negative, the product will also be negative. Therefore, the final result is:

• ( -323 )

This confirms that -323 is the correct answer. Multiplying a positive number by a negative number always results in a negative product, which is why the sign of the answer is critical in this case.
