Question 1 Let Qe R\Q be the set of irrational numbers in R. Consider A = Qºn (√2, √3) as a subset of R, equipped with the standard addition and multiplication. Determine he supremum sup(A) and the infimum inf(A) of A in R with justification, if exist. Note: You may directly use the fact that all √2, √3, and √2+√3 are irrational numbers.)
