"find values of a and b that make the statement |a+b|=|a| + |b| false"

Sagot :

Just choose any combination so that a is negative and b is positive, and vice versa. For example, if a = 3 and b = -6, |3-6| ≠ |3| + |-6|.
This is because |-3| = 3, and |3|+|-6| = 3+6 = 9.
3≠9.

Answer:

a=Any negative number

b=Any positive number

or a=Any positive number and b=Any negative number

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two numbers a and b

We have to find the values of a and b that make the statement [tex]\mid a+b\mid=\mid a\mid+\mid b\mid[/tex] false.

Suppose a=5 and b=-6

[tex]\mid 5-6\mid=\mid 1\mid=1[/tex]

[tex]\mid 5\mid +\mid -6\mid=5+6=11[/tex]

[tex]\mid 5-6\mid \neq \mid 5\mid+\mid-6\mid[/tex]

[tex]\mid a+b\mid \neq \mid a\mid +\mid b\mid [/tex]

When a be any negative number and b be any positive number or a be any positive number and b be any negative number then it will make given statement false.

Hence, the given statement is false.
