There are \(100\) non-zero numbers written in a circle. Between every two adjacent numbers, their product was written, and the previous numbers were erased. It turned out that the number of positive numbers after the operation coincides with the amount of positive numbers before. What is the minimum amount of positive numbers that could have been written initially?

Let \(r\) be a rational number and \(x\) be an irrational number(i.e. not a rational one). Prove that the number \(r+x\) is irrational.
If \(r\) and \(s\) are both irrational, then must \(r+s\) be irrational as well?

Definition: We call a number \(x\) rational if there exist two integers \(p\) and \(q\) such that \(x=\frac{p}{q}\). We assume that \(p\) and \(q\) are coprime.
Prove that \(\sqrt{2}\) is not rational.

Let \(n\) be an integer. Prove that if \(n^2\) is divisible by \(2\), then \(n\) is divisible by \(2\).

Let \(n\) be an integer. Prove that if \(n^3\) is divisible by \(3\), then \(n\) is divisible by \(3\).

The numbers \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy \(x+3 = y+5\). Prove that \(x>y\).

The numbers \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy \(x+7 \geq y+8\). Prove that \(x>y\).
