Is 3 to the power of P > 2 to the power of q ? (1) q = 2p (2) q
> 0 Can anyone explain this. From my understanding the answer to
this question is E. But the explainantion says the correct ans
is C. from now on, you should actually say what "your
understanding of the problem" is ; it's hard to respond to your
post if we have to mind-read. kyle's approach (testing cases)
works. if you have statement 2, you can also substitute q = 2p
into the question: Is 3^p > 2^q ? Is 3^p > 2^(2p) ? which is the
same as... Is 3^p > (2^2)^p ? Is 3^p > 4^p ? The answer to this
question is No if p is non-negative and Yes if p is negative.
therefore, if you have the two statements together, it's a
definite No.
