Step 1, Step 2, Step 4, Step 3
The correct sequence of steps is:
Step 1: Subtract, writing s as a fraction.
Step 2: For a contradiction, assume that t is rational, and write r and t as fractions.
Step 4: Find a common denominator.
Step 3: Realize a contradiction.
Step 1 is necessary to simplify the expression of t by writing s as a fraction.
Step 2 involves assuming that t is rational, which allows us to write both r and t as fractions.
Step 4 is necessary to find a common denominator so that we can add r and s as fractions.
Step 3 is where the contradiction is realized, which leads to the conclusion that t must be irrational.
Put the steps to the proof that the sum t=r+s is irrational if r is a rational and s is rational in the correct sequence. show your reasoning
