A draft uses the inequality a+b2≥ab\dfrac{a + b}{2} \ge \sqrt{ab} "for all real numbers aa and bb for which ab\sqrt{ab} is defined" (that is, ab≥0ab \ge 0). For how many ordered pairs (a,b)(a, b) of integers with −3≤a≤3-3 \le a \le 3 and −3≤b≤3-3 \le b \le 3 is ab\sqrt{ab} defined but the inequality FALSE?
