Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given product of two consecutive odd integers is equal to 72.
Let one integer be x , then since these are consecutive and odd so the other integer will be equal to x + 1.
Their product is equal to 72. So,
x * (x + 1) = 72
=> 
=>
is the required quadratic equation.
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.
