a^3b^4c^7 > 0. Which of the following statements must be true?
Indicate all such statements.
1. ab is negative
2. abc is positive
3. ac is positive



I found this in manhattan 5lb and I am still puzzled at why the answer is not 2 and 3. meanwhile, 3 is the answer in the text

The answer is correct. Since the product of the a,b and c positive (I.e >0), then a and c must be positive.

Since 'b' is raised to an even power of 4, then it must be positive. Therefore, since 'a' and 'c' must be positive since each is raised to a negative power.

Note this is a MUST be true and not could be true question.

Option 1 is wrong cos 'a' must be positive for the stated condition to be true. Also, be must be positive since it is raised to an even power. Therefore, (+)(+)=positive

Option 2 is not true since 'b' could be negative and the product of the three numbers would still be positive. The reason been that any number regardless of its sign when raised to an even power would be positive.

I thought fall 2018 registration is already closing by now

Also, evaluation usually take time especially now that most schools are on strike.

And am planning to write GRE by April

frostsc:
I made that statement cos we are still in January. However, given the fact that you have not done your evaluation and other things and more importantly that it's not just about the admission but also about funding,
I would suggest you look at other entry terms.

Battywonder:
Thank you Masterforcell, I just downloaded the e-book. Though, I downloaded it from a different source when I couldn't get my way around the website. I'll try using the website next time when I need to download e-books.

Epithet:


I hope you understood delvan's explanation. Well let me just add a bit to it. For the product of the numbers to be greater than 0 then no number is 0 there basic right

Secondly, all non zero numbers that's positive or negative raised to an even power becomes positive. I mean -2^2 is 4 positive and 4^2 is 16 positive also. So b could be either positive or negative.

Thirdly all numbers raised to an odd power retains the power meaning -2^3 is -8 retaining the negative power while 3^5 is 243 retaining the positive power.

From those premise we realise that a and c must have the same sign, b on the other hand can be negative or positive. So only ac must be positive.

Good luck with your prep.

#Fall 2018 folks I hope we get more positive information like mfarad's own.

Hi. I'm still vague when it comes to stuff about GRE. I just got to know about it and I decided to chase a masters in public health (MPH) preferably under scholarship . I know that will require a very high score. In short, I'm just starting to gather information on schools that offer MPH in the US and how I can get scholarship and their required minimum GRE score and I hope you can help me in this regard.

CryptoClub2018:
I wrote my TOEFL exam yesterday and my speaking section was horrible
I am writing my GRE exam tomorrow, I hope to do very well there. If I scored very low in TOEFL and score very high in GRE, is there any hope for me to be granted scholarship?

Simon33:


I'm sorry I don't really see it that way super small. Yes its good to post scores for people to learn but when the scores are not good, one feels depressed. I've been there twice and I know how it feels. I believe it takes quite a while depending on one's emotional strength to get over such low score and move on. GRE doesn't even wait after the exam. You will get your result there, as in hot hot. Well its an experience I believe we can conquer when properly armed.

Please to those who didn't do well cheer up. Don't feel bad. You can always better your best,...yes your best! Why because at every point you sit for an exam understand you've done the best preparation you can. You might have failed to achieve a desired score but don't give up. I believe I can do better just as super small says.

Impossible is nothing!

I noticed the group is dying already because its purpose has been defeated. Most eminent contributors like scholastica 16 and others are being reticent because of the evasiveness and covertness of we the new set. If I have not forgotten, people would post test experiences, results and even advice prospective test takers, an habit that is now moribund. I will suggest "Pming" should stop for now or else if only the need calls for it and all information should be post directly on the thread. I will also suggest that everyone should post their stats so as to know who to direct a particular question to, if you support this motion, like this post and if you do not, just click on share.

Took the GRE on 4th January. I couldn't afford to quit my job so I had to manage.I work everday and weekends(Saturday and Sunday). So it was really tasking to prepare and write the GRE. My prep was done in snatches;in Lagos yellow buses,during lunch breaks,in between work lulls etc. Took 1st to 3rd January off to cram in as much work as possible.All of my work was Quant focused.
Test day was ok. The 3+ hours didn't affect me since all my exams in the university lasted for at least 3 hours. After this long story,my scores were:
Q- 157
V- 158
GPA- 4.67/5 (Pharmacy)
Prospective course of study- Biotechnology,Genetic engineering-Still haven't decided yet.
I am a bit disappointed with the verbal score because I scored as high as 164 in my Powerprep test (Didn't prep for verbal though since English has always been my forte)but slightly elated with the Q score as my cold diagnostic was a mere 144.I'm thinking of taking two weeks off and rewriting since I know I can easily smash the 325 mark with focused prep. To all prospective test writers, u can do it!

PHUMEELAYO:
Oh.... I'm sorry. I got a 314, V165 Q149 (was surprised at this score; never been good with math exams). Though I'm still trying to understand how knowing my score helps anyone.

I already talked about my study schedule and the simple strategies I applied on test day.

reDazey:


What is your background? And why masters in public health. Public health in the USA hardly gets full funding. I know one exception and the person had terrific volunteering experience combined with years of being a doctor. The best you can be given is partial scholarship, it normally comes in tuition reduction. You still have to take care of room and board,feeding, books, etc.

If you have a background in the pure sciences, i.e. Microbiology, chemistry, etc, I will advice you to seek a masters in those. You have a better chance of getting full funding.
