<u>Answer:</u>
The correct answer option is A. positive.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
When an exponent or a power is an even number and the base is a negative number, the value is always positive.
Suppose we have a negative base and a power which is even, lets say, so what we get is a positive value.
Therefore, a negative base with even power is always a positive value.
Suppose we choose
and
. Then
Now suppose we choose
such that
where we pick the solution for this system such that
. Then we find
Note that you can always find a solution to the system above that satisfies
as long as
. What this means is that you can always find the value of
as a (constant) function of
.
Answer:
different
Step-by-step explanation:
different slopes gives one solution
same slopes with different constant has no solution
same slopes and constants has many solutions
