I have 5 real numbers whose product is non-zero. Now, I increase each of the 5 numbers by 1 and again multiply all of them.
Is it possible that this new product is the same as the non-zero number obtained earlier?

(Explain your answer may be with an example)

Yes


example: -0.2, -0.3, -0.5, -07, -0.8, each increased by 1, we get 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 & 0.8
by multiplying all 5 we get same number, positive this time
