find one counterexample to show that each conjecture is false :
1. the sum of two numbers is greater than either number ?
help please!!!
(-5) + 3 = -2
To find a counterexample to disprove the conjecture "the sum of two numbers is greater than either number," we need to find two numbers for which the sum is not greater than either number.
Let's consider the numbers 2 and 3 as an example. According to the conjecture, the sum of these two numbers should be greater than either of the numbers individually.
However, when we add 2 and 3 together, we get 5. This means that the sum of 2 and 3 is not greater than either of the numbers. In fact, 5 is equal to the second number in this case.
Therefore, the counterexample to disprove the conjecture is 2 and 3.
