| | 1.7 | 32 | Three keys to this problem: First, you need each to be equivalent to the others. This will require 3 or 4 mini-proofs, depending on how you go about it. Second, you do not start all of the mini-proofs by assuming x is rational. Finally, you must use the formal definition of rational throughout your proof.
| | 1.8 | 30 | Make sure you consider every possibility.
| | 36 | There is in some sense an obvious number to try. That is, given two distinct numbers, there is one number that you can be certain is between them. The trick is then to prove that this number is irrational. If it isn't clear how to do that, what sort of proof comes to mind?
