-8400/68 simplifies to to -2100/17, dolphins/year, so 2100 less dolphins every 17 years.
and we can just divide those to get the decimal amount of -123.53, which means, 123.53 less dolphins every year.
of course, there's no such a thing as 0.53 of a dolphin, so, we can say "about" 123 less dolphins per year.
Sum/difference:
Let
This means that
Now, assume that is rational. The sum/difference of two rational numbers is still rational (so 5-x is rational), and the division by 3 doesn't change this. So, you have that the square root of 8 equals a rational number, which is false. The mistake must have been supposing that
was rational, which proves that the sum/difference of the two given terms was irrational
Multiplication/division:
The logic is actually the same: if we multiply the two terms we get
if again we assume x to be rational, we have
But if x is rational, so is -x/15, and again we come to a contradiction: we have the square root of 8 on one side, which is irrational, and -x/15 on the other, which is rational. So, again, x must have been irrational. You can prove the same claim for the division in a totally similar fashion.
