Easy shortcut or invalid? Plugging 0 into a DS problem.

Dear instructors, I have a question about a problem I saw in the advanced quant book: Try it #4-10 Is a < 0? (1) a^3 < a^2 + 2a (2) a^2 > a^3 The book takes us through a long explanation and (helpful) method of testing numbers. However, when testing 0, the book says it is invalid for both s...

It is the 2nd highest math score I've gotten, and the highest verbal. I only got a 6 on IR, which isn't great, but I'm ...
