Question

if a and b are two rational numbers then is the statement a+b/2 > 2 true or false? explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

rational number -3, -5

-3+(-5) /2=-8/2=-4

-4 is not greater than 2

Answer 2

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assign a = 1 and b = 0 which are rational numbers

Let us assume that a+b/2 > 2

a+b/2 = 1+0 /2

= 1/2 Which contradicts that the assumption we took was wrong

Hence it's false

Hope it is correct
