For all integers n, the function f is defined by f (n) = an, where a is a constant. What is the value of f (1)?
(1) f (2) = 100
(2) f (3) = -1,000
A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

I did this question few days ago :For all integers n, the function f is defined by f (n) = an, where a is a constant. What is the value of f (1)?
Please make a correction
f (n) = a^n
(1)
f(2) =100 = (10)^2 or (-10)^2
so n =+10 or -10
cant say from here
(2)
f(3) = -1000 = (-10)^3
n= -10
so B
hope this Helps
