SAT question

<p>if –1 < z < 0, which of the following statements must be true?</p>

<p>I. z 3 > z2
II. Z>Z/4
III. z > z 2</p>

<p>(A) I only</p>

<p>(B) II only</p>

<p>(C) III only</p>

<p>(D) II and III only</p>

<p>(E) I, II, and III</p>

<p>Th answer is B, which makes me wonder if im just really confused in math or the person who made this question made a careless mistake. Shouldn't Z be SMALLER than Z/4, since Z/4 brings it closer to zero? Help please!</p>

<p>Why did you capitalize "z" in the second answer choice but in none of the others? If it's |z|, then (B) is correct; otherwise, it's wrong.</p>

<p>It was because i couldn't copy and paste the format that they showed II in( they showed z/4 with the / thing horizontal,m so they used a diff program or something). Its not lzl , its just a Z. So i guess im not the only one, yay.</p>

<p>As far as I can tell, the answer should be "None." </p>

<p>I) z3 is negative, while z2 is positive
II) z is MORE negative than z/4, so z should be less than z/4
III) z is negative, while z2 is positive</p>

<p>I concur with everyone else on this post, but I have 2 questions for Quix: 1) Where did u get this question, from a book or just a random one from a friend. Also 2) If from a book, do you know the difficulty of the question? (i.e #19 or #12 etc...)</p>

<p>What I did was I picked values for z, (-0.5) and none of them worked for me.</p>
