Question 14. Indicate if each of the following statements is (always) true or is (possibly)
false. Put your answers in the boxes indicated and show your work in the spaces below each
question.
• If you indicate that the statement is (possibly) false, you must give an explicit
counterexample with numbers.
• If you indicate that the statement is (always) true, you must give a clear explanation
supported with results from class.
