Question

Determine if the following statement is true. For any numbers a and b, if a > B, then a2 > b2. Give a justification for your response.

I'm so confused on this one too. I'm trying to find help in my book but cannot understand.

Answer 1

Pick two different numbers. Let one be A and let the other be B. Keep trying different numbers (i.e. positives, negatives, and even zero). Are there any examples where this statement is false? I do not see any. The statement is true.

Answer 2

Can you tell me how you got this answer? I don't understand the example. I'm sorry. I'm not good at this.
