Problem 2:
If $2<f<3$ and $-9<g<-1$, then what is the range of possible values of $fg$?

for the least value let's take $f$ as tends to $2$ and $g$ as tends to $-9$.so the least possible value of $fg$is tends to $-18$.let's do the same with the highest value.
the range is$-18<fg<-3$

The correct answer is $-27 < fg < -2$
Just look out for what the highest and least value of $fg$ can be.
