Since k is positive, we know that 2k³ is POSITIVE
This means we can safely multiply both quantities by 2k³ to get:
Quantity A: 5k² - 1
Quantity B: 10k³/2k
Simplify Quantity B to get:
Quantity A: 5k² - 1
Quantity B: 5k²
Subtract 5k² from both quantities to get:
Quantity A: -1
Quantity B: 0
Quantity B is greater.
Answer: B
