please please help me quick!
hi i was practisin a gcse maths paper and need some help with last question;
x and y are two positive irrational numbers. x + y is rational and so it x times y.
a) by writing the 1/x + 1/y as a single fraction explain why 1/x + 1/y is always rational.
b) explain why (x-y) is always rational
c) write down two possible positive irrational values for x and y
i can do part A easily enough its just the second 2.
