The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given inequalities and determine which one is not always correct based on the conditions provided: \( a > 0 \), \( b > 0 \), \( a > b \), and \( c \neq 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Conditions**: - We have \( a > 0 \) - \( b > 0 \) - \( a > b \) - \( c \neq 0 \) (which means \( c \) can be either positive or negative) 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1**: \( a + c > b + c \) - Rearranging gives \( a > b \), which is true as per the given conditions. - **Option 2**: \( a - c > b - c \) - Rearranging gives \( a > b \), which is also true as per the given conditions. - **Option 3**: \( ac > bc \) - This depends on the sign of \( c \): - If \( c > 0 \), then \( ac > bc \) is true because \( a > b \). - If \( c < 0 \), then multiplying both sides of \( a > b \) by \( c \) reverses the inequality, leading to \( ac < bc \). Thus, this inequality is not always true. - **Option 4**: \( \frac{a}{c^2} > \frac{b}{c^2} \) - Since \( c^2 > 0 \) (as it is the square of any non-zero number), we can divide both sides by \( c^2 \) without changing the inequality. Therefore, \( a > b \) implies \( \frac{a}{c^2} > \frac{b}{c^2} \) is always true. 3. **Conclusion**: - The inequality that is not always correct is **Option 3: \( ac > bc \)**. ### Final Answer: The inequality that is not always correct is \( ac > bc \).
