Proof by contradiction that the product of any nonzero rational number and any irrational number is irrational (Must use the method of contradiction). Which of the following options shows an accurate start of the proof. Proof. Let X+0 and y be two real numbers such that their product xy=- is a rational number where c, d are integers with d 0. Proof. Let x0 and y be two real numbers such that their product xy is an irrational number (that...

For each statement, (i) write the statement in logical form with appropriate variables and quantifiers, (ii) write the negation in logical form, and (iii) write the negation in a clearly worded unambiguous English sentence....
QUESTION 10 15 points Save Answer Prove the statement by contraposition. For all nonzero real number n. if n is irrational, then its reciprocal 1/n is irrational. [Definition: Reciprocal is one of a pair of numbers that, when multiplieci together, equal 1. For example, reciprocal of k is 1/k, where k is not zero]

2. [14 marks] Rational Numbers The rational numbers, usually denoted Q are the set {n E R 3p, q ZAq&0An= Note that we've relaxed the requirement from class that gcd(p, q) = 1. (a) Prove that the sum of two rational numbers is also a rational number (b) Prove that the product of two rational numbers is also a rational number (c) Suppose f R R and f(x)= x2 +x + 1. Show that Vx e R xe Qf(x) Q...
Suppose we tried to apply our real analysis definitions/methods to the set of rational numbers Q. In other words, in the definitions, we only consider rational numbers. E.g., [0, 1] now means [0, 1] ∩ Q, etc. In this setting: (a) Find an open cover of [0, 1] that contains no finite subcover. Hint: Fix an irrational number α ∈ [0, 1] (as a subset of the reals now!) and for each (rational) q ∈ [0, 1] look for an...
ntifiers , Counterexamples, Disproof (#9, 15 pts) #9. For each statement, state whether the statement is true or false. If false, explain; provide a counterexample as appropriate or a careful explanation. (If true, no explanation expected) (a) n in N, n+23 ≥n3+8. (b) x in R, x+23 ≥x3+8. (c) n in N, 4n + 1 is prime.

PART B: Calculating Limits 1) In algebra classes you typically learn that the horizontal asymptote of a rational function (z)N() D(x) is determined by the degree of the numerator and by the degree of the denominator. That is, if the degree of N(a) is less than the degree of D(x) the horizontal asymptote is y 0 N(r) D(x) lim f(x) lim 0 If the degree of N(x) and the degree of D(x) are the same then the horizontal asymptote is...
ANSWER 5,6 & 7 please. Show work for my understanding and upvote. THANK YOU!! Problem 5. (3 pts) Let {x,n} be a bounded sequence of real numbers and let E = {xn : n E N}. Prove that lim inf,,0 In and lim inf, Yn are both in E. Hint: Use the sequential characterization of the closure, i.e., Proposition 3.2 from class. Problem 6. (3 pts) As usual let Q denote the set of all rational numbers. Prove that R....
