Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. Recall that a rational number r EQ is a number of the form r =
where a, b & Z, b +0.
Decide whether each of the following claims is true or false. Then prove your answers.
Claim 1. There is a positive rational number smaller than any other positive rational number.
Claim 2. For any r € Q with r = 0, there exists m € Z for which rm € N = {1,2,3, ...}.
4. Suppose that r € Q, r‡ 0, and that x € R\Q (x is irrational). Prove that rx is also irrational.
5. Prove that for any two nonnegative real numbers, their arithmetic mean is always greater than
or equal to their geometric mean. Meaning, prove that for any x,y ER where x, y ≥ 0,
x+y
2
Σvry.
Moreover, prove that there is equality if and only if x = y.
