hey.

when you post problems like this one, with lots of "<" and ">" signs, you have to disable HTML. otherwise, the forum will "think" that all the inequality signs are actually html tags, and will interpret them accordingly - an action that includes ignoring all the text between a "<" and a ">" if it doesn't constitute a valid html tag.

therefore, large swaths of your text are disappearing from the problem.

to fix this: check the Disable HTML in this post box underneath the text when you're posting.

IMO:C

#3 cannot be true because if c=1/3 and d = 1/2 then,

c^2 + d ^2 is not greater than 1

If d > 0 and 0 < 1-(c/d) <1> 0
II. c/d <1> 1

(A) I only
(B) II only
(C) I and II only
(D) II and III only
(E) I, II, and III
You should make use of some brackets so as not to confuse other readers who may interpret your question one of two ways:

a) 1-(c/d) <-- Which I assume is what you meant

b) (1-c)/d

See the difference?
