2. (10 points.) A rational number can be written as p / q, where p is an integer, q is an integer, and q does not equal 0. Suppose that r_o and r_i are rational numbers, and that r_o < r_i. Prove that there is a rational number u such that ro < u < ri. Your proof must be constructive, and your answer must briefly explain why it is constructive.

This is the sequence 1,3,6,10,15 the pattern is addin 1 more than last time but what is the name for this patternThese are called the triangular numbers The sequence is 1 3=1+2 6=1+2+3 10=1+2+3+4 15=1+2+3+4+5 You can also observe this pattern x _________ x xx __________ x xx xxx __________ x xx xxx xxxx to see why they're called triangular numbers. I think the Pythagoreans (around 700 B.C.E.) were the ones who gave them this name. I do know the...
