Answer 1

Problem

Solution

Lets analyze one by one the possible options and we have:

O A. The difference in the powers is equal to the sum of the bases.

FALSE 2^2 and 1^2, we have 2-2=0 is different from 2+1=3

OB. The difference in the powers is equal to the difference in the bases.

FALSE , again if if we check 2^2 and 1^2 we have 2-1=1 and 2-2=0 and are not equal

O C. The sum of the powers is equal to the sum of the bases.

FALSE if we check 2^2 and 1^2 we have 2+1=3 and 2+2=4 and are not equal

OD. There is no pattern.​
