Question

Given that x is a nonnegative number, a student conjectured that x + 3 < x2.

Answer 1

Answer:

C (x = 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is a non-negative number, A and B are eliminated.

This leaves C and D.

C: x = 2,

2 + 3 < 2^2

5 < 4 is false.

So C would be a counterexample.

Hope this helps!
