Write a formal proof for the following statement using proof
Write a formal proof for the following statement using proof by contradiction.
Statement\" For all nonzero real numbers x and ym if x is rational and y is irrational, then x/y is irrational.
Solution
Suppose x/y is rational.
 Then (x/y)*y must be irrational, since it\'s one rational number multiply by irrational.
 However, we know (x/y)*y = x, which is rational.
 This is a contradiction.
 Hence, x/y is irrational.
