Algebra Properties of numbers; Inequalities
Given that x2 + y2 = 9, if x < −3 or if x > 3, then x2 > 9 and y2 < 0, which is not possible. Therefore, −3 ≤ x ≤ 3; SUFFICIENT. Given that x2 + y ≤ 9, if x = 0 and y = 4, then x2 + y ≤ 9, and −3 ≤ x ≤ 3 is true. However, if x = 4 and y = −7, then x2 + y ≤ 9, and −3 ≤ x ≤ 3 is not true; NOT sufficient.
The correct answer is A;
statement 1 alone is sufficient.
