<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.

Answer: x=-2 y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
I decided that isolating the y value of the second equation is the best way to start solving.
I divide 3 from both sides to get y= (4-x)/3. With this, I can substitute into the first equation. 4x+3(4-x)/3)=-2.
The multiplying the 3 by the denominator three cancels each other out to make:
4x+4-x=-2.
We subtract 4 on both sides and then subtract x from 4x.
We end up with 3x=-6. Then, we divide both sides by 3.
x=-2.
Now we substitute this into the second equation to solve.
3y=4-(-2)
This becomes 3y=4+2 which is 3y=6
We divide both sides by 3 to get y=2
We end up with x=-2 and y=2.
I hope you learned something :)
Answer:
See answer below
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first expression
3 x (x - 2) + 2 = 3 x^2 - 6 x + 2
evaluated at x= 4 we get: 26
and for x = 5 we get 47.
For the second expression
2 x^2 + 3 x - 18
we get the exact same values when doing the evaluation at these two points.
Based on those results, one may think the expressions may be equivalent, but they are not equivalent. Because at any other x-value, their results are different. See for example that for x = 0 the first one gives "2" while the second one gives -18.
