Prove the irrationality of the following numbers:

a) \(\sqrt{3}{17}\)

b) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}\)

c) \(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{5}\)

d) \(\sqrt{3}{3} - \sqrt{2}\)

e) \(\cos 10^{\circ}\)

f) \(\tan 10^{\circ}\)

g) \(\sin 1^{\circ}\)

h) \(\log_{2}3\)

Find the largest and smallest values of the functions

a) \(f_1 (x) = a \cos x + b \sin x\); b) \(f_2 (x) = a \cos^2x + b \cos x \sin x + c \sin^2x\).

Prove the formulae: \(\arcsin (- x) = - \arcsin x\), \(\arccos (- x) = \pi - \arccos x\).

The number \(x\) is such that both the sums \(S = \sin 64x + \sin 65x\) and \(C = \cos 64x + \cos 65x\) are rational numbers.

Prove that in both of these sums, both terms are rational.

The numbers \(a\) and \(b\) are such that the first equation of the system \[\begin{aligned} \sin x + a & = bx \\ \cos x &= b \end{aligned}\] has exactly two solutions. Prove that the system has at least one solution.
