Samantha conjectures that for x < -1, it is true that x5 - 2 > x. Is her conjecture correct? Why or why not?

Ronch [10]3 years ago

Answer:

  The conjecture cannot work for any negative numbers, It works for x > 1.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

An odd power preserves the sign. For |x| > 1, the power increases the magnitude. For x < 0, adding -2 only increases the magnitude more. A negative number of larger magnitude will not be "greater than" the reference. It will be "less than."

It only takes a counterexample to show the conjecture is incorrect.

  x^5 -2 ?? x

  (-2)^5 -2 ?? (-2)

  -32 -2 ?? -2

  -34 < -2 . . . . . . not greater than

Answer: 300.

Step-by-step explanation: 225/(No denominator) = 75/100.

225 doesn't go in 75. So, 75/100 divided by 5 = 15/20.

I want to find what number you multiply from 15/20 to get 225/(No

denominator). So, I divide 225 by 15. = 15, so multiply 15 x 15 = 225, and

the denominator, 20 x 15= 300.

(Sorry if you don't understand, I don't really know how to explain things.)

But here's your answer!
