Prove the following using the specified technique:

(a) Prove by contrapositive that for any two real numbers,x and y,if x is rational and y is irrational then x+y is also irrational.

(b) Prove by contradiction that for any positive two real numbers,x and y,if x·y≥100 then either x≥10 or y≥10.

Please write nicely or type.

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...
