Question

If the exponent of a negative integer is even then the result is a ............ integer.

• A. Positive
• B. Negative
• C. 0
• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is A Positive

If the exponent of a negative integer is even, then the result is a $positive$ integer.

$\Rightarrow$ $(-2{)}^4=(-2)\times (-2)\times (-2)\times (-2)=16$

$\Rightarrow$ Here, $-2$ is negative base and $4$ is even power.

$\Rightarrow$ Then result $16$ is a positive integer.
