Is w + h^4 positive?

(1) h is positive
(2) w is positive

Official Guide question
Answer: B
since h^4 will always be positive, we only need to determine the sign of w.

Re: What is the value of t?

1) s+t = 6+s
t=6.
statement 1) alone is sufficient.
2) t^3 = 216
t=6 (since exponent is odd so only one value will satisfy it)
statement 2) alone is also sufficient.
Option D is correct.

Re: What the value of w^-2?

w^-2 = ?
1) w^-1 =1/2
1/w = 1/2 => w=2.
w^-2 = 1/4.
statement 1) alone is sufficient.
2) w^3 = 8
w=2
w^-2 = 1/4.
statement 2) alone is also sufficient.
Both statements independently are suffcient.
Hence option D is correct.

Re: Is x = 1/y?

Is x = 1/y ?
