x n = x 2 n must be true for all x ∈ R x → − k , k ∈ R + ⟹ ( − k ) n = ( − k ) 2 n Since RHS is +ve , " n " must be even The only correct option is x 2 = x 4

x 6 = ∣ ∣ x 3 ∣ ∣ which does NOT always equal x 3 since x 3 can take negative values.
x 2 = ∣ x ∣ which does NOT always equal x since x can take negative values.
x 4 = ∣ ∣ x 2 ∣ ∣ = x 2 because x 2 always takes positive values.
