We can solve this question using matching operations (see the video lesson below )
Given:
Quantity A: \(b^2\)
Quantity B: \(b^3 \)
Since \(b ≠ 0\), we can be certain that \(b^2\) is positive, which means we can safely divide both quantities by \(b^2\) to get:
Quantity A: \(1\)
Quantity B: \(b\)
Since \(0<b<1\), we know that Quantity A is greater.
Answer: A

as the power increases, for decimas, the value decreases!
so, if b = 0.5, b^2 (0.25) > b^3 (0.125)
so, if b = 0.5, b^2 (0.25) > b^3 (0.125)
