math question inside

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

What is the truth value of the quantification \(\forall x(x^2 \ge x)\), where the domain consists of all real numbers

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

If x < 1 and x>0 then it is not true

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

why so?

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

or i should say it is not satisfied for -1<x<1

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Because in all that region we have proper fractions

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh. the fractions

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

didn't think of that

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Yep

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the fraction's arent just -1 < x < 1 by the way...

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

That is why I said proper fractions

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Or I should say 0<|x|<1

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

This is the set of the value of real numbers for which it is not satisfied

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

2 1/2 doesn't satisfy it either...

OpenStudy (cruffo):

if x = -1/2 then x^2 = +1/4 so no worries about the negatives

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

let me see 5/2 = 2.5 sqauring 6.25 > 2.5

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Wrong calculation lgba

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

correct @cruffo

OpenStudy (cruffo):

the only time the graph of x^2 is below x is on the interval (0,1) not including the endpoints.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

absolutely ....... correct
