Show that the statement "For any real number a and b, a2 = b2 implies that a = b" is not true by giving a counter example.
Show that the statement "For any real number a and b, a2 = b2 implies that a = b" is not true by giving a counter example.
Let a = 1, b = -1 and a2 = b2 but a ≠ b. Thus we observe that the given statement is not true.
