Give and example of what the numbers could be. k = ? And n = ?
Please answer clearly so I can understand!


Sagot :

[tex]k=-2,n=1\\k=-8,n=5\\ k=-\frac{1}{4},n=\frac{1}{7} [/tex]
both the numbers should be negative and k should be less than n.
any pair satisfies above condition is a solution.

inequality sign(> or < ) get reversed only if the number are -ve.
