The answer is X is greater than -2! <3
<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.
I am pretty sure its B (minimum at -1, -4) because that would be were the first point would be at. The Graphing of this equation would be a "upside down u" shape.
Answer: -4
Reasoning: so first you need to subtract the 7 from the 9 to get -2. Then you square it to get 4 because a negative 2 times -2 is 4. Then you multiply the 4 by the 2 to get 8. You can simplify the -10/5 to -1/2 and multiply that by the 8 to get -8/2 which simplified out to -4.
I hope that helps.
