Quantity A |

\(\sqrt{{x^4 + 6x^2 + 9}}\) |
\(x^2+3\) |
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.
I used in solving this question choosing number strategy, my question if the \(\sqrt{16}\) will it equal 4 or -4, or only 4? How does the GRE deal with that ?

16 has two square roots (4 and -4), but the square root notation tells us to take only the POSITIVE square root.
So, \(\sqrt{16}=4\), \(\sqrt{49}=7\), \(\sqrt{100}=10\), etc
Alternatively, if \(x^2 = 16\) (i.e., no square root notation), then either \(x=4\) or \(x=-4\)
Likewise, if \(x^2 = 81\) (i.e., no square root notation), then either \(x=9\) or \(x=-9\)
Does that help?
Cheers,
Brent

Yes, but need more clarification, now the \(\sqrt{16}\) , 16 could be a result of 4 and -4 eventhough the notation is not -ve.

Sorry. I'm not sure what you mean by "16 could be a result of 4 and -4"
Can you please elaborate?
