Question
Indicate true (T) or false (F):(A) If $p>q$ and $m>0$, then $m p<m q$.(B) If $p<q$ and $m<0$, then $m p>m q$.(C) If $p>0$ and $q<0$, then $p+q>q$
Step 1
We need to check if $mp<mq$. Since $m$ is a positive number, when we multiply both sides of the inequality $p>q$ by $m$, the inequality does not change. Therefore, we get $mp>mq$. So, the given statement $mp<mq$ is **False**. Show more…
