Algebra.Com's Answer #130525 by Mathtut(3670)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! actually the conjecture is correct for all Real x's except for \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "once you show one example of your conjecture not working it is false. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "your example of (integer that is negative or an irrational number) does not negate the conjecture because it is still true with those values.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "example 1/-5 is less than 1 \n" ); document.write( " |
