Prove each of the following statements below using one of the proof techniques and state the proof strategy you use.
pochemuha

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Direct proof: Let m be an odd integer and n be an even integer. Then, there exist integers k,j such that m=2k+1 and n=2j. Then mn=(2k+1)(2j)=2r, where r=j(2k+1) is an integer. Thus, mn is even.

b) Proof by counterpositive: Suppose that m is not even and n is not even. Then m is odd and n is odd, that is, m=2k+1 and n=2j+1 for some integers k,j. Thus, mn=4kj+2k+2j+1=2(kj+k+j)+1=2r+1, where r=kj+k+j is an integer. Hence mn is odd, i.e, mn is not even. We have proven the counterpositive.

c) Proof by contradiction: suppose that rp is NOT irrational, then rp=m/n for some integers m,n, n≠. Since r is a non zero rational number, r=a/b for some non-zero integers a,b. Then p=rp/r=rp(b/a)=(m/n)(b/a)=mb/na. Now n,a are non zero integers, thus na is a non zero integer. Additionally, mb is an integer. Therefore p is rational which is contradicts that p is irrational. Hence np is irrational.

d) Proof by cases: We can verify this directly with all the possible orderings for a,b,c. There are six cases:

a≥b≥c, a≥c≥b, b≥a≥c, b≥c≥a, c≥b≥a, c≥a≥b

Writing the details for each one is a bit long. I will give you an example for one case: suppose that c≥b≥a then max(a, max(b,c))=max(a,c)=c. On the other hand, max(max(a, b),c)=max(b,c)=c, hence the statement is true in this case.

e) Direct proof: write a=m/n and b=p/q, with m,q integers and n,q nonnegative integers. Then ab=mp/nq. mp is an integer, and nq is a non negative integer. Hence ab is rational.

f) Direct proof. By part c), √2/n is irrational for all natural numbers n. Furthermore, a is rational, then a+√2/n is irrational. Take n large enough in such a way that b-a>√2/n (b-a>0 so it is possible). Then a+√2/n is between a and b.

g) Direct proof: write m+n=2k and n+p=2j for some integers k,j. Add these equations to get m+2n+p=2k+2j. Then m+p=2k+2j-2n=2(k+j-n)=2s for some integer s=k+j-n. Thus m+p is even.

What is the measure of angle TSU?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

m<TSU = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

As one can see, the measure of angle (RST) is (90) degrees. This is indicated by the box around the angle. As a general rule, when there is a box around an angle, the angle measure if (90) degrees. It is also given that the measure of angle (RSU) is (25) degrees. As per the given diagram, the sum of the measures of angles (RSU) and (UST) is (RST). Therefore, one can form an equation and solve for the measure of angle (UST).

(RSU) + (UST) + (RST)

Substitute,

25 + (UST) = 90

Inverse operations,

25 + (UST) = 90

UST = 65

(<UST) is another way of naming angle (TSU).
