Proof: Irrational numbers \( a \) , \( b \) exist that make \( a^b \) rational number


Irrational numbers ( a ) , ( b ) exist that make ( a^b ) rational.

Prove with law of excluded middle and without fixing what ( a ) and ( b ) are.

Proof

Supporse ( x = sqrt{2} ^ sqrt{2} ) .

Case: ( x ) is Rational

( sqrt{2} ) is irrational, so ( a = b = sqrt{2} ) make ( a^b ) rational. ( ( sqrt{2} ) が無理数であることの証明は 証明: ( sqrt{2} ) は無理数 をご覧ください。)

Case: ( x ) is Irrational

begin{eqnarray*} sqrt{2} & = & (sqrt{2}^sqrt{2})^sqrt{2} & = & sqrt{2}^{sqrt{2} cdot sqrt{2}} & = & sqrt{2}^2 & = & 2 end{eqnarray*}

Then, ( a = x = sqrt{2}^sqrt{2} ) and ( b = sqrt{2} ) are irrational and make ( a^b ) rational.

Above all, there are irrational numbers ( a ) and ( b ) that make ( a^b ) rational.

Proof: Infinite Decimal of Rational Number is Recurring Decimal


I prove that infinite decimal of rational number is recurring decimal. It is decimal of rational number but is not finite decimal.

While the process of division may seem intuitive, I will provide a more concrete explanation as a formal proof.

Feeling

For example, when 89 is sequentially divided by 13, including decimal places, the remainders are as follows:

\begin{eqnarray*} 89 \div 13 & = & 6 \; \textrm{remainder is} 11 \\ 110 \div 13 & = & 8 \; \textrm{remainder is} 6 \\ 60 \div 13 & = & 4 \; \textrm{remainder is} 8 \\ 80 \div 13 & = & 6 \; \textrm{remainder is} 2 \\ 20 \div 13 & = & 1 \; \textrm{remainder is} 7 \\ 70 \div 13 & = & 6 \; \textrm{remainder is} 5 \\ 50 \div 13 & = & 3 \; \textrm{remainder is} 11 \\ 110 \div 13 & = & 8 \; \textrm{remainder is} 6 \end{eqnarray*}

On the 7th division, the same remainder as in the 1st division appeared again. Since there are only 12 possible remainers when divided by 13, ranging from 1 to 12, if the division doesn’t result in a perfect quotient after 13 divisions, it becomes evident that at some point, the same remainder would recur, leading to a repeating decimal.
