The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements provided and determine their validity. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 2 Statement 2 states that: \[ \frac{x^n + y^n}{2} < \left(\frac{x+y}{2}\right)^n \] for \(0 < n < 1\) and \(x, y > 0\). **Proof:** This statement is a known result from the Power Mean Inequality. The Power Mean Inequality states that for any two positive numbers \(x\) and \(y\) and for \(p < q\): \[ \left(\frac{x^p + y^p}{2}\right)^{1/p} < \left(\frac{x^q + y^q}{2}\right)^{1/q} \] In our case, we can set \(p = n\) and \(q = 1\). Since \(0 < n < 1\), we have: \[ \frac{x^n + y^n}{2} < \left(\frac{x+y}{2}\right)^n \] Thus, Statement 2 is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 1 Statement 1 states that: \[ x^{1/3} + y^{1/3} > 2^{2/3} \] given that \(x + y = 1\) and \(x, y > 0\). **Proof:** Using the result from Statement 2, we can apply it with \(n = \frac{1}{3}\): \[ \frac{x^{1/3} + y^{1/3}}{2} < \left(\frac{x+y}{2}\right)^{1/3} \] Since \(x + y = 1\), we have: \[ \frac{x^{1/3} + y^{1/3}}{2} < \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{1/3} \] Multiplying both sides by 2: \[ x^{1/3} + y^{1/3} < 2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{1/3} \] Calculating the right side: \[ 2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{1/3} = 2^{1 - \frac{1}{3}} = 2^{\frac{2}{3}} \] Thus, we have: \[ x^{1/3} + y^{1/3} < 2^{2/3} \] This contradicts Statement 1, which claims that \(x^{1/3} + y^{1/3} > 2^{2/3}\). Therefore, Statement 1 is **false**. ### Conclusion - Statement 1 is **false**. - Statement 2 is **true**. Thus, the final answer is that Statement 1 is incorrect and Statement 2 is correct. ---
