Disprove, by finding a suitable counter example, the statement x2 > y2 for all x > y

Answer»

If x = – 8 and y = – 10 

Here x > y 

x2 = (- 8)2 = 64 and y2 = (- 10)2 = 100 

But x2 > y2 is false here. [ ∵ 64 < 100] 

(This can be proved for any set of negative numbers or a negative number and a positive number)
