Ex 2. Prove by contradiction the following claims. In each proof highlight what is the contradiction (i.e. identify the proposition Q such that you have Q ∧ (∼Q)). Claim 1: The sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational. (Recall that x is said to be a rational number if there exist integers a and b, with b 6= 0 such that x = a b ). Claim 2: There is no smallest rational number strictly greater...

Prove or disprove the following statements. Remember to disprove a statement you have to show that the statement is false. Equivalently, you can prove that the negation of the statement is true. Clearly state it, if a statement is True or False. In your proof, you can use ”obvious facts” and simple theorems that we have proved previously in lecture. (a) For all real numbers x and y, “if x and y are irrational, then x+y is irrational”. (b) For...
