Question

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!

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

`k=-2,n=1\\k=-8,n=5\\ k=-(1)/(4),n=(1)/(7)`
