\r\n" );
document.write( "I) x5 < |x| \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's always true because x5 is negative if x is negative,\r\n" );
document.write( "and |x| is always positive if x is is negative.\r\n" );
document.write( "         ____\r\n" );
document.write( "II) x < √(-x) \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That's always true because if x is negative,\r\n" );
document.write( "the left side is negative and the right side positive.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "III) x - \"1%2F%22%7Cx%7C%22\" < 0 \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That is always true because subtracting a positive from\r\n" );
document.write( "a negative also gives a negative which is less than 0.\r\n" );
