If \(x > y^2 > z^4\), which of the following statements could be true?
I. \(x>y>z\)
II. \(z>y>x\)
III. \(x>z>y\)
A. I only
B. I and II only
C. 1 and III only
D. II and III only
E. I, II and III
If we CAN find a set of values that satisfies a statement AND yields values such that x > y² > z⁴, then we'll keep that statement.
Statement I. x > y > z If x = 2, y = 1, and z = 0, then x > y² > z⁴
KEEP statement I
Statement II. z > y > x If x = 1/4, y = 1/3, and z = 1/2, then x > y² > z⁴
KEEP statement II
Statement III. x > z > y If x = 2, y = -1, and z = 0, then x > y² > z⁴
KEEP statement III
Answer: E
