Let T be the statement: The sum of any two rational numbers is rational. Then T is true, but the following "proof is incorrect. Find the mistake. "Proof by contradiction: Suppose not. That is, suppose that the sum of any two rational numbers is not rational. This means that no matter what two rational numbers are chosen their sum is not rational. Now both 1 and 3 are 1/1 and 3 3/1, and so both are ratios of integers with rational because 1 a nonzero denominator. Hence, by a supposition, the sum of 1 and 3, which is 4, is not rational. But 4 is rational because 4 4/1 , which is a ratio of integers with a nonzero denominator. Hence 4 is both rational and not rational, which is a contradiction. This contradiction shows that the supposition is false and hence statement T is true.

[a] create a class called “cycle” which has two instance integer variables as properties, “numberofwheels” and “weight.” create a constructor with two parameters, using the same variable names in the parameter list. assign each variable to numberofwheels” and “weight” respectively. write a separate application to test the class and display its properties. note: do not change the names of the instance variables or the variables listed in the constructor’s parameter list. [b] edit your class cycle by adding a default constructor which will assign the default values of 100 to represent the numberofwheels, and 1000 to represent the weight, by invoking a call to the other constructor. modify your application created in [a] to test the class.

Write a function called checkfactor that takes two arrays of positive numbers, firstnumberrow and secondnumberrow. checkfactor checks if the first entry in firstnumberrow is divisible by the first entry in secondnumberrow, and performs the same operation on the next array elements until all entries have been checked. all the numbers are positive and the number of entries in the arrays are the same. the function should return the identified divisible numbers in two row arrays named firstdivisible and seconddivisible.restrictions: branches or loops should not be used. the code must use the internal mod and logical functions.hint: the mod function should be used to determine if two numbers are divisible. ex: for num1 and num2 if mod(num1,num2) is 0, then the two numbers are divisible.this is matlab
