okay i dont know if ive been studying for too long and have gone nuts..or its just that inequalities are not my thing..

If d>0 and 0 < 1-c/d < 1, which of the following must be true:

1. c>0
2. c/d < 1
3. c^2+d^2 >1

I totally understand the solution to this problem..and its not that what i looking for..i just want to know WHY CANT IT BE : C/D<1<1+C/D

If thats possible..then the answer to this question will be different. So can someone please help?

From the notation you have used, it's hard to tell what the given conditions are.
"1-c/d" could be interpreted as (1-c)/d, or it could be interpreted as 1-(c/d).
Once this is clarified, we can go about answering your question.

Cheers,

As far as the correct answer goes, wouldn't it be statements I and II that must be true, but non necessarily statement III?

oh my bad. this is the question..

If d>0 and 0 < 1-(c/d) < 1, which of the following must be true:

1. c>0
2. c/d < 1
3. c^2+d^2 >1

and my question is : Why cant it be : (C/D)< 1 <1+(C/D)


Edit: Okay guys nevermind..i guess i was just too tired and sleepy last night when doing this problem..thanks for the responding though Brent =)

@Kobe..The correct asnwer to this probelm is C which states that only I AND II are correct.

Let's deal with this in parts:

Part 1: 0 < 1-(c/d)
Add c/d to both sides to get: c/d < 1
Since we're told that d is positive, we'll multiply both sides by d to get: c < d

Part 2: 1-(c/d) < 1
Add c/d to both sides to get: 1 < 1 + c/d
Subtract 1 from both sides to get: 0 < c/d
If d is positive and c/d is positive, then c must be positive.
In other words, 0 < c

Combining the two parts, we get 0 < c < d

What kinds of conclusions can we make from this information?

1. c>0 (yes, this must be true)
2. c/d < 1 (since c < d, and since c and d are both positive, this must be true)
3. c^2+d^2 >1 (no, this need not be true. For example, we could have c=0.1 and d=0.2, in which case c^2 + d^2 is not greater than 1.)

Brent
