NOTE: this is one of those questions that require us to check/test each answer choice. In these situations, always check the answer choices from E to A, because the correct answer is typically closer to the bottom than to the top.alanforde800Maximus wrote:If k is negative, which of the following must also be negative?

Since 1 less than a negative number will always be negative, k - 1, will always be negative.alanforde800Maximus wrote:If k is negative, which of the following must also be negative?
