Exercise 2.4.2: Proving statements about rational numbers with direct proofs. About Prove each of the following statements using

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Proof: Product of two rational numbers

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The product:

$A * B = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{2}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = 1 * \frac{1}{3}$

$A * B = \frac{1}{3}$

Proved, because 1/3 is rational

(b) Proof: Quotient of a rational number and a non-zero rational number

Using direct proofs.

Let the two rational numbers be A and B.

Such that:

$A = \frac{1}{2}$

$B = \frac{2}{3}$

The quotient:

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{2}{3}$

Express as product

$A / B = \frac{1}{2} / \frac{3}{2}$

$A / B = \frac{1*3}{2*2}$

$A / B = \frac{3}{4}$

Proved, because 3/4 is rational

(c) x + y is rational (missing from the question)

Using direct proofs.

Let x and y be

Such that:

$x = \frac{1}{2}$

$y = \frac{2}{3}$

The sum:

$x + y = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$

Take LCM

$x + y = \frac{3+4}{6}$

$x + y = \frac{7}{6}$

Proved, because 7/6 is rational

<em>The above proof works for all values of A, B, x and y; as long as they are rational values</em>

Is the relationship between gross box office sales and home video units significant? how can you tell? do you think the linear m

aalyn [17]

The linear model is the best fit for the relationship.

According to the statement

we have given that the relationship between gross box office sales and home video units significant and the linear model is the best fit for the relationship.

And we explain all the given statements.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

Since the p-value of the independent variable, 0.0000, is less than 0.05, we can be 95% confident that there is a significant linear relationship between gross box office and home video units.

And the

linear model is used in different ways according to the context. The most common occurrence is in connection with regression models.

So, the linear model is appropriate for the comparisons.

So, The linear model is the best fit for the relationship.
