    What is the Sum of Two Irrational Numbers?

    So is it ok for me to just say that then? With no steps of the proof?

    What is the Sum of Two Irrational Numbers?

    Do I just do two separate cases then?

    What is the Sum of Two Irrational Numbers?

    I have a question. I realize that two rational numbers added together equal a rational number and that a rational added to a irrational equal a irrational number; but how do I show what a irrational plus a irrational equal?

    Your logic makes sense StatusX. Is there anything else to your thought?

    Proving Prime Numbers Greater Than 5 are Sums of 3 Primes

    The problem doesn't say whether all primes have to be different. HOwever, your solutoin will not work. An exam[ple of why is in the case of x=6, 6+3 = 9, and 9 is not a prime number.

    Proving Prime Numbers Greater Than 5 are Sums of 3 Primes

    I've been going over this on paper for a while now, so I was wondering if maybe you guys would be able to point me in the right direction. We're supposed to prove that if every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes, than every odd number greater than 5 is the sum of 3...

    How Do You Calculate the Circumcircle Radius with Given Triangle Sides?

    Oh, I apologize. The only way which I know of to get that is with the law of cosines.
