MATH 413 [513] (PHILLIPS) SOLUTIONS TO HOMEWORK 1 Generally, a “solution” is something that would be acceptable if turned in in the form presented here, although the solutions given are often close to minimal in this respect. A “solution (sketch)” is too sketchy to be considered a complete solution if turned in; varying amounts of detail would need to be filled in. Problem 1.1: If r ∈ Q \ {0} and x ∈ R \ Q, prove that r + x, rx ∈ Q. Solution: We prove this by contradiction. Let r ∈ Q\{0}, and suppose

Introduction Quantitative physical properties are recorded as a number with a unit where the unit indicates what instrument was used. In this country, the most common system of units is the English System but in science, the preferred system is the Metric System (SI). The SI system is preferred because all units that are proportional to some basic unit are given in terms of powers of ten of the basic unit. In this chapter, the units for length, mass, temperature, amount and time in both systems
