Question

Select the correct operator for the following exponential expression.

35 ? 46
O A. =
OB. >
C.

Answer 1

The correct operator for the exponential expression 3^5 ? 4^6 is > (greater than), because we can compare the values of the two exponents:

3^5 = 243

4^6 = 4096

Since 4096 is greater than 243, we can write:

3^5 < 4^6

or

4^6 > 3^5

Therefore, the correct operator for the exponential expression 3^5 ? 4^6 is > (greater than).
