let a, b be real number ; :: thesis: ( a < b implies IRRAT a,b misses RAT a,b )
assume A1:
a < b
; :: thesis: IRRAT a,b misses RAT a,b
assume
IRRAT a,b meets RAT a,b
; :: thesis: contradiction
then consider x being set such that
A2:
( x in IRRAT a,b & x in RAT a,b )
by XBOOLE_0:3;
reconsider x = x as real number by A2;
( not x is irrational & x is irrational )
by A1, A2, Th53;
hence
contradiction
