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...
If r and s are rational numbers, prove that r + s is a rational number.
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...
QUESTION 6 Prove by contraposition: "For all real numbers rifr is irrational, then is irrational. (Must use the method of contraposition). Which of the following options shows an accurate start of the proof. Proof. Letr be a real number such that r is irrational. Also, assume that r= where a, b are integers with b+0. b a Proof. Letr be a real number such that r2 where a, b are integers with b 0. b Proof. Letr be a real...

Question 4 of the image Prove that, for all n 1 1 Arrange the following rational numbers in increasing order: (i) x, is a rational number 61/99, 3/5, 17/30, 601/999, 599/1001. g 0 2 Find positive integers r and s such that r/s is equal to the repeating decimal (ii) 2 x5/2. Find an expression for x - 5 involving x,-5, and hence explain (without formal proof) why x, tends to a limit which is not a rational number 0.30024....
8.5 Theorem. Let s andt be any two different natural numbers with s t. Then (2st. (). is a Pythagorean triple. The preceding theorem lets us easily generale infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but, in fact, cvery primitive Pythagorean triple can be generated by chousing appropriale natural numbers s and and making the Pythagorean triple as described in the preceding thcorem. As a hint to the proof, we make a little observation. 8.6 Lemma. Let (a, b,e) be a primitive Pythagorean...
PROOFS: Use these theorems and others to prove these statements. Theorem 1: The sum of two rational numbers is rational. Theorem 2: The product of two rational numbers is rational. Theorem 3: √ 2 is irrational. Induction: Prove that 6 divides n 3 − n for any n ≥ 0 Use strong induction to prove that every positive integer n can be written as the sum of distinct powers of 2. That is, prove that there exists a set of...
In the following problem, we will work through a proof of an important theorem of arithmetic. Your job will be to read the proof carefully and answer some questions about the argument. Theorem (The Division Algorithm). For any integer n ≥ 0, and for any positive integer m, there exist integers d and r such that n = dm + r and 0 ≤ r < m. Proof: (By strong induction on the variable n.) Let m be an arbitrary...
