Let's start by plugging in some positive values of x and see what we get. x = 1/2 1/x = 2 2x = 1 x² = 1/4 So, we get x² < 2x < 1/x This matches statement I. x = 3/4 1/x = 4/3 2x = 3/2 x² = 9/16 So, we get x² < 1/x < 2x This matches statement II x = 3 1/x = 1/3 2x = 6 x² = 9 So, we get 1/x < 2x...

Determine the CRITICAL POINTS by setting the expressions equal to each other: 1/x = 2x 2x² = 1 x² = 1/2 x = √(1/2) = 1/√2 ≈ 1/1.4 ≈ 10/14 ≈ 5/7. 1/x = x² x^3 = 1 x = 1. 2x = x² x=2 (We can divide by x because x>0.) Hello GMATGuruNY, Can you please explain the above part? Thanks, Sid
