if x=-2 and y=2, which of the following is false: (a) (x) is greater than 1 (y)
(b) (x) = (y)
(c) (y) is less than 1
(d) (x) = y
I assume (x) means |x| = absolute value?
well, you have
|x| = 2
|y| = 2
Looks like (c) is false.
Can't tell with (a), since "1 (y)" eludes me.
Steve, in (a)the (y) is a misprint and
(x)= -2 Thank you for the help
If (x) = -2 and (y) = 2, then everything is false.
To determine which statement is false, we need to substitute the given values of x and y into each statement and evaluate them.
Let's go through each option:
(a) (x) is greater than 1 (y)
Substituting x = -2 and y = 2, we get:
(-2) > 1(2)
-2 > 2 (which is false)
So, statement (a) is false.
(b) (x) = (y)
Substituting x = -2 and y = 2, we get:
-2 = 2 (which is false)
So, statement (b) is false.
(c) (y) is less than 1
Substituting x = -2 and y = 2, we get:
2 < 1 (which is false)
So, statement (c) is false.
(d) (x) = y
Substituting x = -2 and y = 2, we get:
-2 = 2 (which is false)
So, statement (d) is false.
In summary, all the given statements (a), (b), (c), and (d) are false when x = -2 and y = 2.
