Answer:

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Conjecture: [tex]x + 3 < x^2[/tex] --- (Missing)

Required

Which value of x prove the conjecture otherwise

To do this , we simply substitute the values of x in the options

[tex]1.\ x = -\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

This is negative;

So, there is no need to check

[tex]2.\ x = -3[/tex]

This is also negative;

So, there is no need to check

[tex]3.\ x = 2[/tex]

[tex]x + 3 < x^2[/tex]

[tex]2 + 3 < 2^2[/tex]

[tex]5 < 4[/tex]

This value of x is false because 5 is not less than 4

[tex]4.\ x = 3[/tex]

[tex]x + 3 < x^2[/tex]

[tex]3 + 3 < 3^2[/tex]

[tex]6 < 9[/tex]
