    1. For each of the following statements, write the contrapositive statement, and prove the original statement by proving its contrapositive: (a) If m^2 + n^2 ≠ 0, then m ≠ 0 or n ≠ 0. 2. What is wrong with the following proof of the conjecture "If n^2 is positive, then n is positive.": Proof: Suppose that n^2 is positive. Because the conditional statement "If n is positive, then n^2 is positive" is true, we can conclude that n is positive.

    Rational function and polynomials

    The reason why polynomials are so important is that there is a theorem from Analysis that says that any continuous function defined on an interval of the real line can be approximated arbitrarily closely by a polynomial. So polynomials are useful to ¿model¿ any kind of function on a closed interval. However, polynomials ¿ge
