Question 1117774: Hello, I have been having trouble trying to solve the following quantitative comparison question. Could you show me both the answer and how to solve it step-by-step? I would really appreciate the help :) I looked at the problem and tried to initially square root the parts of the problem to come up with quantity A, only for it to not work :(
+R=%282%5E16%29%285%5E34%29%28N%5E50%29+, N is a positive integer
Quantity A: +sqrt%28+R+%29
Quantity B: +R%2F10+
Select one of the following:
a. Quantity A is bigger.
b. Quantity B is bigger.
c. Both are equal.
d. the relationship cannot be determined by the information given.
Thank you very much for your time.

2^16 * 5^34 = 3.8147e28
:
R = 3.8147e28 * N^50
:
A) square root(R) = 1.9531e14 * N^25
:
B) R/10 = 3.8147e27 * N^50
:
B is larger than A, answer is b
