Respuesta :

Solution:

Proving that Ian is not always true:

  • |x| < |y| (x and y must be positive)
  • => |-5| < |-4|
  • => 5 < 4 (False)

Proving that Ian is sometimes true:

  • |x| < |y| (x and y must be positive)
  • |4| < |5|
  • 4 < 5 (True)

This proves that:

  • If x and y are positive, Ian's statement will be true.
  • If x and y are negative, Ian's statement will be false.
