Challenge 133: Irrational Combinations
Can you prove that there is way to pick numbers such that the following expressions are always irrational?
If a, b, c, d, e and f are six different irrational numbers, will it always be possible to pick a group of three of them, say a, b and c, so that each of the values
a + b, b + c, c + a
are also irrational?
Justify your answer.
