QUE 1 :- State whether the following statements are true or false:
(i) The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.
(ii) Every odd number greater than 1 is prime.
(iii) For any real number x, 4x + x = 5x.
(iv) For every real number x, 2x > x.
(v) For every real number x, x 2 ≥ x.
(vi) If a quadrilateral has all its sides equal, then it is a square.
(vii) All prime numbers are odd.
(vii) Two times a real number is always even.
(xi) For any x, 3x +1 > 4.
(x) For any x, x 3 ≥ 0.
Answers
a) True , according to angle sum property of a triangle
b) False , for example : 9 is an odd composite number
c) True , For example , x=-1
4(-1) +(-1)=5(-1)
-4-1=-5
-5 = -5
d) False , for example : If the real number is negative , taken -1 , so 2x = 2(-1) = -2 and x =-1 . Here 2x is smaller than x .
e) True , If the square is done , the number becomes positive , so it would be eventually greater than negative integer.
x : negative integer , x²>0
x : positive integer. , x²>0
x : 0 , x² = 0
f) False , a rhombus too has all four sides equal .
g) False , 2 is the only even prime number
h) True , because it then becomes a multiple of 2 .
i) False , if x = any negative integer , 0 or 1 .
j) False , x³ will be smaller than zero if x = negative integer
___________________
i) True
Reason : Sum of angles of triangle property states that sum of all the angles inside the triangle is equal to 180°.
___________________
ii) False
Reason : 9 is an odd number, greater than one, but it is not a prime number as it is a multiple of 3.
___________________
iii) True
Reason : If x is considered to be a real number, let it be equal to any real number say 2, thus x = 2
Substituting the value of x in the equation x + 4x = 5x, we get,
2 + (4 × 2) = (5 × 2)
2 + 8 = 10
10 = 10
•°• L.H.S. = R.H.S.
____________________
iv) False
Reason : Since, x is said to be a real number, if it turns out to be a negative integer, then, 2x < x
E.g., let x = -2
Substituting it in 2x, we get,
(2 × -2) = -4 and x = -2
-4 < -2
•°• 2x < x
____________________
v) True
Reason : Square of any real number, whether it is positive or negative, is greater than that real number.
E.g. If x = -2, then,
(-2)² = 4
•°• 4 > -2
And, if x = 2, then,
(2)² = 4
•°• 4 > 2
____________________
vi) False
Reason : A quadrilateral whose all the four sides are equal is said to be rhombus, and if all the angles of rhombus is 90°, then only it is said to be a square.
____________________
vii) False
Reason : Two is an even prime number.
____________________
viii) True
Reason : Twice any real number is divided by two, and hence, is said to be the multiple of two.
____________________
ix) False
Reason : If x is a negative integer, or a whole number like zero or one, then 3x + 1 is not equal to 4.
E.g., Let x = 0
Substituting it in the equation 3x + 1 = 4, we get,
(3 × 0) + 1 = 4
0 + 1 = 4
1 < 4
____________________
x) False
Reason : If x is a negative integer, cube of x will be less than zero.
E.g., Let x = -2
•°• (-2)³ = -8, which is less than zero
