<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 - 3 and a power which is even, lets say, 6 so what we get is a positive value.

(-3)^6=729

Therefore, a negative base with even power is always a positive value.

Answer: A. positive

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that powers are written in this form:

b^m

Where "b" is the base and "m" is the exponent.

By definition, the exponent indicates how many times to base must be multiplied by itself. Then, if the base is negative and the exponent is an even number, you get:

(-3)^4=(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)=81\\\\\\(-2)^2=(-2)(-2)=2\\\\\\(-5)^6=(-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)(-5)=15,625

Therefore, when an exponent of a power is an even number and the base is a negative number, the value is always positive.

Clara brought 24 donuts for the office. If 6 of them were chocolate, what percent of the donuts were chocolate
mafiozo [28]
To find the percent, you have to divide 24/6 
24/6 = 0.25
Now you convert 0.25 to a percent. 
So move the decimal point 2 places to the right. 
= 25 %
