25. For each integer there is a next larger one, obtained by adding 1 to the given integer; 2+1 = 3.
26. The property of density implies that no matter how small you choose the rational number greater
than 2, it is possible to find another rational number between 2 and this number, i.e., greater than
2 and less than the number chosen.

bers is closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (except by 0), each of the
given expressions represents a rational number.

x — 1 is positive and V(x — l)2 = x — 1, whereas 1 — x is negative and V(1 — x)2 —
— (1 — x) = x — 1. This leads to x — 1 = x — 1. If x < 1 then x — 1 is negative and
V(z — l)2 = — (x — 1) = 1 — x, whereas 1 — x is positive and \/(l — x)2 = 1 — x. This
leads to 1 — x = 1 — x.

31. Assume a + y/b is rational: then (a + y/b) — a is rational (set of rational nos. is closed under sub¬
traction). Since (a + y/b) — a = y/b, y/b is rational, which is a contradiction. Thus, a + y/b must
be irrational.

32. Consider some positive integer n. Assume that its cube root is a fraction - in lowest terms, i.e.,
b
3 _ a
y/n = - , where a, b, n are positive integers, and a and b have no common factors,
o
Q Q
3 _ a a a . ... ~
If y/n = - , then n = , where ^ is in lowest terms. Since n is an integer, b6 must equal 1, and
a a
6=1, which means that - = - = a. Thus, for the cube root of a positive integer n to be rational,
6 1
_ , . a
the root must be an integer, - •
As there are many positive integers which have no integral cube roots, the symbol y/n may repre¬
sent an irrational number.
