Question

If a base is negative, how will you know whether the answer is positive or negative before evaluating it?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the exponent of the base will be even(multiple of 2),

then the answer will come out to be positive else if the base is odd, then the answer will always be negative.

Example:

(-1)²³⁴¹ = -1

(-1)⁶³² = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

if you are raising the negative base to an odd power the answer will be negative and if you are raising the negative base to an even power the answer will be positive
