The system has one solution so it's
A. consistent and independent.
Answer:
D (the last choice)
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the fourth root of each element individually:
49^(1/4) = sqrt(7)
(d^8)^(1/4) = d^2
(e^2)^(1/4) = sqrt(e)
Multiplying them back together:
sqrt(7) * d^2 * sqrt(e) = d^2 * sqrt(7e)
