The numbers m m m and k k k satisfy the equations 2 m + 2 k = p 2^m + 2^k = p 2 m + 2 k = p and 2 m − 2 k = q 2^m - 2^k = q 2 m − 2 k = q . What is the value of 2 m + k 2^{m+k} 2 m + k in terms of p p p and q q q ?
(A) p 2 − q 2 4 \frac{p^2 - q^2}{4} 4 p 2 − q 2 (B) p q 2 \frac{pq}{2} 2 pq (C) p + q p + q p + q (D) ( p − q ) 2 4 \frac{(p-q)^2}{4} 4 ( p − q ) 2 (E) p + q p − q \frac{p+q}{p-q} p − q p + q
