Consider the following conditional statement. If a + 1 = b, then b > a. A. Create a pair of values for a and b in which the n
umerical relationship shown in the given conditional statement is true. In your final answer, include the values of the variables and proof of truth. B. Is it possible to create a pair of values for a and b in which the numerical relationship shown in the given conditional statement is false? Use complete sentences to explain your answer. PLEASE EXPLAIN MORE DETAILED!
Let us consider values for the variables a and b as 1 and 2 respectively.
Thus, a = 1
b = 2
∴ a + 1 = b
1 + 1 = 2
2 = 2
∴ LHS = RHS and also b > a
Hence proved
B). No it is not possible to create a pair of values for a and b for which the given condition will be false because assigning one value for a variable will automatically determine the other value of the variable for the given condition. It will not satisfy the given condition.
