- 不等式對(duì)任意的實(shí)數(shù)x恒成立。（） （1）實(shí)數(shù)a的取值范圍為(0, +∞) （2）實(shí)數(shù)a的取值范圍為(2, +∞)
- 分析下述論證中存在的缺陷和漏洞，選擇若干要點(diǎn)，寫一篇600字左右的文章，對(duì)該論證的有效性進(jìn)行分析和評(píng)論。（論證有效性分析的一般要點(diǎn)是：概念特別是核心概念的界定和使用是否準(zhǔn)確并前后一致，有無(wú)各種明顯的邏輯錯(cuò)誤，論證的論據(jù)是否成立并支持結(jié)論，結(jié)論成立的條件是否充分等等。） 如果你要從股市中賺錢，就必須低價(jià)買進(jìn)股票，高價(jià)賣出股票，這是人人都明白的基本道理。但是問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵在于如何判斷股票價(jià)值的高低。只有正確的判斷股價(jià)的高低，上述的基本道理才有意義，否則就毫無(wú)實(shí)用價(jià)值。 股價(jià)的高低是一個(gè)相對(duì)的概念，只有通過(guò)比較才能顯現(xiàn)。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，要正確判斷一支股票的高低，唯一的途徑就是看它的歷史表現(xiàn)。但是有人在判斷當(dāng)前某一股票的高低時(shí)，不注重股票的歷史表現(xiàn)，而是注重股票今后的走勢(shì)，這是一種危險(xiǎn)的行為，因?yàn)楣善钡臍v史表現(xiàn)是一種客觀事實(shí)，客觀事實(shí)具有無(wú)可爭(zhēng)辯的確定性；股票的今后走勢(shì)只是一種主觀預(yù)測(cè)，主觀預(yù)測(cè)具有極大的不確定性。我們?cè)趺纯梢灾粦{主觀預(yù)測(cè)而不顧客觀事實(shí)呢? 再說(shuō)，股價(jià)的未來(lái)走勢(shì)充滿各種變數(shù)，它的漲和跌不是必然的，而是或然的。我們只能借助概率進(jìn)行預(yù)測(cè)。假如宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)、市場(chǎng)態(tài)勢(shì)和個(gè)人股表現(xiàn)均好，它的上漲概率就大；假如宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)、市場(chǎng)態(tài)勢(shì)和個(gè)股表現(xiàn)均不好，它的上漲概率就小；假如宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)、市場(chǎng)態(tài)勢(shì)和個(gè)股表現(xiàn)不相一致，它的上漲概率就需要酌情而定。 由此可見(jiàn)，要從股市獲取利益，第一是要掌握股價(jià)漲跌的概率，第二還是要掌握股價(jià)漲跌的概率，第三也還是要掌握股價(jià)漲跌的概率。掌握了股價(jià)漲跌的概率，你就能賺錢；否則，你就會(huì)賠錢。
