Algebra.Com's Answer #751055 by greenestamps(13203)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "Answer choices A, B, and C are all false, so they can't be the answer. The only possible right answer is D. \n" ); document.write( "And D does what it needs to -- it supports the conjecture with the example that the cube root of -27 is -3 (-3 IS larger than -27), and it provides a counterexample by showing the cube root of -1 is -1 (-1 is NOT larger than -1). \n" ); document.write( " |
