A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
Given:
QUANTITY A: \(5^{20}+5^{21}\)
QUANTITY B: \(5^{20} \times 7\)
Factor Quantity A:
QUANTITY A: \(5^{20}(1 +5)\)
QUANTITY B: \(5^{20} (7)\)
Divide both quantities by \(5^{20}\) to get:
QUANTITY A: \((1+5)\)
QUANTITY B: \((7)\)
Answer: B
