Proof: The Rationals are Dense in the Reals | Real Analysis

Between any two real numbers there exists a rational number. This is what is meant by "the rationals are dense in the reals". Take two real numbers and we can find a rational in between them, a very handy thing! We prove this with the Archimedean Property in today's real analysis video lesson. #realanalysis

    can we chose m=a-b and n=2 and work from there?

  • @lox7182
    @lox7182Ай бұрын

    if anyone's curious about the irrationals if a and b are irrational, atleast one of (a+b)/2 or (a+3b)/4 will be irrational, if both were rational, then (a+3b)/2 would be rational and (a+3b)/2 - (a+b)/2 = 2b/2 = b would be rational, which wouldn't make sense if only one of them is irrational, just do (a+b)/2 if both are rational, do (a + pi(b))/(1+pi), since that is just equal to b - (b-a)/(1+pi) and b-a isn't zero, it's irrational

    I haven't made one yet, but it would be a lot of fun to create such a video - maybe later this year when I have some more time. Would like to come back to producing for the Real Analysis playlist but right now it's hard to afford working on just because it's so niche. Lots more topics will be covered eventually though!

    One can just consider separate cases: x is positive, x is zero, x is negative In all these cases the inequality is trivial, and there is no other case.
