compare the expressions 75 + 3^4 and 85 + 4^2. which statement is correct?

Answer 1

To compare the expressions 75 + 3^4 and 85 + 4^2, we must first evaluate the exponents.
3^4 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81
4^2 = 4 * 4 = 16

Now we can substitute these values back into the expressions:
75 + 81 = 156
85 + 16 = 101

Therefore, the correct statement is that 75 + 3^4 is greater than 85 + 4^2.
