Multiple choice

In the following questions, there are two equations. Solve the equations and answer accordingly. (I. x^{3/2} = 25^2 + 104 ) (II. y^{1/4} = 4^2 – 13)

  1. $p < q$
  2. $p > q$

  3. p = q or relationship cannot be established.
  4. $p \leq q$
  5. $p \geq q$

C Correct answer
Explanation

The first equation gives x^(3/2) = 625 + 104 = 729, so x = 729^(2/3) = 81. The second gives y^(1/4) = 16 - 13 = 3, so y = 3^4 = 81. Since x = y = 81, the relationship is that they are equal.
