Determine if the following is a valid argument. Explain your conclusion.
Prove: If x is an irrational number, then 1 − x is also an irrational number.
Proof: Suppose 1 − x is rational. Then we can write with a, b Z. Now we have and a rational number. This is a contradiction. Hence, if x is irrational, so is 1 − x.
