Let ff be a function defined on the set of positive rational numbers with the property that f(a⋅b)=f(a)+f(b)f(a\cdot b)=f(a)+f(b) for all positive rational numbers aa and bb. Suppose that ff also has the property that f(p)=pf(p)=p for every prime number pp. For which of the following numbers xx is f(x)<0f(x)<0?
