b can be anything, so can a. b=1, a=2 satisfy the condition b=0, a=1 satisfy the condition b=-1, a=1 satisfy the condition
yes a^2>=0, but YOU DON'T KNOW wat is a. A can be anything a^2>=0 is only telling you wat is the range of the inequalities U CANNOT assume b is negative, becuase b can be +, 0, or -
