Question

Is this true or false? Explain why and show steps.

e - 1/e < 0

Answer 1

`e-\cfrac{1}{e}~ < ~ 0\implies e~ \stackrel{ \stackrel{\textit{\\ormalsize false}}{\downarrow } }{ < } ~ \cfrac{1}{e} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{\\ormalsize we can think of it in this way}}{5~ > ~ \cfrac{1}{5}\qquad 999~ > ~ \cfrac{1}{999}} \qquad 173~ > ~ \cfrac{1}{173}\qquad \textit{and so on}`
