rove the following statement directly from the definition of rational number. The difference of any two rational numbers is a ra

tional number. Proof: Suppose r and s are any two rational numbers. By definition of rational, r = a b and s = c d for some ---Select--- a, b, c, and d with ---Select--- . Write r − s in terms of a, b, c, and d as a quotient of two integers whose numerator and denominator are simplified as much as possible. The result is the following. r − s = Both the numerator and the denominator are integers because ---Select--- . In addition, bd ≠ 0 by the ---Select--- . Hence r − s is a ---Select--- of two integers with a nonzero denominator, and so by definition of rational, r − s is rational.

stich3 [128]
R = 8
h = 15
a = r^2 * pi
a = 64pi = 201.06 sq.in.
201.06 * 15 = 3015.9 cubic inches.
