If u and –3v are greater than 0, and √u<√−3v , which of the following cannot be true ?
A. u3<−v
B. uv>−3
C. √u−v<√3
D. u+3v>0
E. u<−3v
A quick glance through all the option, we will see that
option D which is
u+3v>0 is not possible, so might be the answer, however lets look at the remaing option
option A ::
u3<−v - This is possible if we divide by 3 on both sides
Option B::
uv>−3 - This is possible, since -3v > 0 so v < 0
Option C::
√u−v<√3 - It is possible by dividing
√−v on both sides
Option E::
u<−3v - It is also possible by squaring on both sides.
