Quantity A is equal to \(n^2*n^4 = n^{2+4} = n^6\). While quantity B is equal to \((n^2)^4 = n^{2*4} = n^8\). Thus, since the exponents are positive, the higher the exponent, the higher the quantity. Then, quantity B is greater!

I think the answer should be D, because when we put -1/2 A is bigger than B and if we put -2 so B is bigger than A, so i think the answer should be D

QA is \(n^6\)
QB is \(n^8\)
Even you plug in a quantity < -1 such as \(\frac{3}{2} = 1.5\) the result will be in the first case 11.39 and in the second quantity 25.6.
So the answer is always B

Hi, we are looking for n<-1..
when you take n as -1/2, it is >-1, and thus outside the range n<-1.

A) Quantity A is greater.
B) Quantity B is greater.
C) The two quantities are equal.
D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Given:
Quantity A: (n²)(n⁴)
Quantity B: (n²)⁴
Simplify:
Quantity A: n⁶
Quantity B: n⁸
From here, we can solve this question using matching operations
Since n⁶ must be POSITIVE, we can safely divide both quantities by n⁶ to get:
Quantity A: 1
Quantity B: n²
Since n < -1, we know that n² is greater than 1
Answer: B
