Question

Find a counterexample to show that the following conjecture is false. Conjecture: The square of any integer is always greater than the integer.

hintHint:

Take an example and check.

The correct answer is: Thus we get that 0 as an integer to disprove the conjecture.


    Complete step by step solution:
    Here take the integer x = 0
    On squaring, we get x squared equals 0
    Here, 0 is never greater than 0.
    Thus we get that 0 as an integer to disprove the conjecture.

    The graph shows the temperature between noon and midnight in City A on a certain day.

    The table shows the temperature, TT, in degrees Fahrenheit, for hh hours after noon, in City B.

    1.Which city was warmer at  p.m.?
    2.Which city had a bigger change in temperature between  p.m. and  p.m.?
    3.How much greater was the highest recorded temperature in  than the highest recorded temperature in City A during this time?
    4.Compare the outputs of the functions when the input is 3 .

    Here, we just need to read the given question carefully and understand each and every term. We need to interpret the graph and table correctly to find the correct answer.

    Given five noncollinear points, make a conjecture about the number of ways to connect different pairs of points.

    Number of connections for 3 noncollinear points = 3
    Number of connections for 4 noncollinear points = 6
    Next from the figure, we get number of connections for 5 noncollinear points = 10
    So the sequence is 3, 6, 10

    Given an example of a non-linear function in table form.
    X          
    Y          

    We know that the graph of a non linear function is not a straight line.
    So, we can plot the above ordered pairs to verify that the graph of the above points is not a straight line and hence not a linear function.
