We define reciprocal of a nonzero real number x as 1/x. Consider the statement “The re- ciprocal of any irrational number is irrational.” Prove this statement using both contraposition and contradiction.
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...
6. [8 POINTS) Letbe a nonzero real number. Prove by way of contrapositive that if x+ irrational, then is irrational. is 7. 18 POINTS Consider a collection of closed intervals ( hal. = 1.2.3.... such that lim(b,- ) = 0 Prove by way of contradiction that there cannot be more than one real number contained in each of these intervals.
(10 points.) Recall that a real number a is said to be rational if a = " for some m,n e Z and n +0. (a) Use this definition to prove that if and y are both rational numbers, then r+y is also rational (b) Prove that if r is rational and y is irrational, then x+y is irrational

please prove 9.6 and 9.7 The next three theorems formalize what you may have discovered in the preceding group of questions. 9.6 Theorem. Let K be a positive integer Then, among any k real num- bers, there is a pair of them whose difference is within 1/K of being an integer When we take our collection of real numbers to be multiples of an ir- rational number, then we can find good rational approximations for the irrational number. Remember how...
