It would be negative, because you would multiply-3/4 13 time over and over. It would come out positive but after you keep multiplying a negative and the 13 is odd it would be negative
Two factors of -5 are -5 and 1. -5 and 1 make a sum of -4, so the equation can be factored into (x-5)(x+1)=0
x-5=0 or x+1=0
x=5 or x=-1
