Question

The power principle of equality would be used to solve the equation a2 = 100. true or false
Answered by GPT 3.5
False. The power principle of equality states that if a = b, then a raised to the power of n is equal to b raised to the power of n for any positive integer n. However, in the equation a^2 = 100, we are not raising both sides to the same power, so the power principle of equality is not directly applicable in this case.
