answer it asap and correctly thank you
Prove that the
product xy of two real numbers
is nonnegative
if and only if
the absolute
x and y
value Ixty of their sum is the sum 1x1 + ly!
of their absolute values.
(-) Recall that 1x1 = x iff x>=0. (<-) Show ab<0
leads to a contradiction. Then assume
ab >=0. Prove
by cases: (i) Let ab=0. (ii) Let ab > 0.
