And what have you thought about?The problem says: Show that the conjuncture is false by finding a counterexample.
For any real number x, If x2>=1, then x>=1
OK. At least you are thinking. That's good.I have thought about using a fraction. Would that work?
You might find it helpful to look at a graph of y = x^2; specifically, look at where y > 1, and look at ALL the x-values (numbers on the x-axis) that lead upward to where y > 1.The problem says: Show that the conjuncture is false by finding a counterexample.
