Look at this info about a pair of numbers, k and n.
k < n
And k(squared) > n(squared)
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. 

Reason: Take any two +ve numbers a,b with a>b then a²>b².
inequality sign(> or < ) get reversed only if the number are -ve.
