false. Prove it is false (with a counterexample).
(a) Let x, y ∈ R. If x 2 < y2 , then x < y.
(b) Let x and y be integers. If x and y are positive, then x + y
≥ 2 √xy

Step 1

If x^2 < y^2, then x < y. To disprove this statement, we need to find a counterexample where x^2 < y^2 but x ≥ y. Consider the case when x = -3 and y = 2. Then, x^2 = 9 and y^2 = 4. We have x^2 > y^2, but x < y. This is not a counterexample. Now, consider the Show more…
