Two expressions are written on the board:

\[1 + 22 + 333 + 4444 + 55555 + 666666 +7777777 + 88888888 + 999999999\] \[9 + 98 + 987 + 9876 + 98765 + 987654 + 9876543 + 98765432 + 987654321\]

Determine which one is greater or whether the numbers are equal.

Let \(r\) be a rational number and \(x\) be an irrational number (i.e. not a rational one). Prove that the number \(r+x\) is irrational.
If \(r\) and \(s\) are both irrational, then must \(r+s\) be irrational as well?

Definition: We call a number \(x\) rational if there exist two integers \(p\) and \(q\) such that \(x=\frac{p}{q}\). We assume that \(p\) and \(q\) are coprime.
Prove that \(\sqrt{2}\) is not rational.

Let \(n\) be an integer such that \(n^2\) is divisible by \(2\). Prove that \(n\) is divisible by \(2\).

Let \(n\) be an integer. Prove that if \(n^3\) is divisible by \(3\), then \(n\) is divisible by \(3\).
