Hi /creationism/.

Let x be an irrational number and Z the set of integers.

Show that the set Z + xZ := { a + xb | a, b in Z } is a countable dense subset of the reals.

btw this isn't homework. I just found that exercise in my baby Rudin and found it to be particularly awesome.

Just imagine, I can approximate every real number arbitrarily by some linear integer combination of some irrational number.
