Question

True or false. When y is positive, the value of y^2 is always greater than the value of y. Why?

however if you have 0.5^2 which is 0.25 is that not smaller than 0.5

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation:

If
`y=0.5`, then
`y^2=0.25`, whereas
`y=0.5`.

Therefore, this is a counterexample. Hence, the statement is false.
