Re: The following sets are given [#permalink]
Can someone please explain how B is correct? Since X can be any positive integer greater than 1 could you not plug in some gigantic number and get a result that proves B to be false?

I am responding to the report submitted by mskb629



The greatest value of set A The least value of B
1 -x^2 + x^3
1 + x + x^2

You can break A down to 1

And be to x^2 - 2x

You will see very quickly that once x becomes 3, B will be greater so option B is not always true.
