Question

Cindy and Victor are playing a math game. The winner must get three in a row of the same type of real number and justify how the numbers are alike. Cindy said she won because she was able to get three rational numbers on a diagonal. Victor said he won with three positive numbers in a column.
A. Can both players say they won, for different reasons? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

No,both players could have not won. It was on Victor that won the game due to the fact that, he got 3 positive numbers in a column. The same column could become rows when viewed from another angle. As for Cindy, 3 rational numbers on a diagonal negate the rules of the game.
