Consider the following statement. The sum of any two rational numbers is a rational number. The statement is true, but the following proposed proof is incorrect. Proposed proof: 1. Suppose r and s are any rational numbers. 2. By definition of rational, r = and s = for some integers a, b, c, and d with b +0 and d # 0. 3. By substitution, r + s = 4. Thus r + s is a sum of two fractions, which is a fraction. 5. So r + s is a rational number since a rational number is a fraction. Identify the error(s) in the proposed proof. (Select all that apply.) O The second sentence should say b = 0 and d = 0 instead of b + 0 and d + 0. O The first sentence claims that r and s are rational numbers, which is equivalent to assuming what is to be proved. O To prove the statement, r and s must have the same denominator. O The fourth sentence assumes that a sum of two fractions is a fraction, which is equivalent to assuming what is to be proved. O The second sentence should say a # 0 and c + 0 instead of b…
