The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relationship between \( x + y \) (Quantity A) and \( 0 \) (Quantity B) given the condition \( xy > 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Condition**: The condition \( xy > 0 \) implies that both \( x \) and \( y \) must either be positive or both must be negative. This is because the product of two numbers is positive if both numbers are either positive or negative. 2. **Case 1: Both \( x \) and \( y \) are Positive**: - Let’s assume \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 2 \). - Then, \( xy = 1 \times 2 = 2 \), which is greater than \( 0 \). - Now, calculate \( x + y \): \[ x + y = 1 + 2 = 3 \] - Compare \( x + y \) with \( 0 \): \[ 3 > 0 \] - In this case, Quantity A (3) is greater than Quantity B (0). 3. **Case 2: Both \( x \) and \( y \) are Negative**: - Let’s assume \( x = -1 \) and \( y = -2 \). - Then, \( xy = (-1) \times (-2) = 2 \), which is also greater than \( 0 \). - Now, calculate \( x + y \): \[ x + y = -1 + (-2) = -3 \] - Compare \( x + y \) with \( 0 \): \[ -3 < 0 \] - In this case, Quantity A (-3) is less than Quantity B (0). 4. **Conclusion**: - From Case 1, we found that \( x + y > 0 \). - From Case 2, we found that \( x + y < 0 \). - Since we have two different scenarios yielding different results for \( x + y \) in relation to \( 0 \), we conclude that the relationship between Quantity A and Quantity B cannot be determined. ### Final Answer: The answer is that the relationship cannot be determined.
