Prove or disprove: For all real numbers x and y, bx + yc = bxc + byc (i.e., the floor function distributes over addition for the reals). 2. Prove the following by contradiction: For all nonnegative real numbers w, x, y, z, if dw+x+y+ze ≥ 1, then max(w, x, y, z) ≥ 1/8 ("max" is the largest number of the 4).

Prove that for all real numbers $x, y,$ and $z,$ if $x+y+z \geq 3$, then either $x \geq 1$ or $y \geq 1$ or $z \geq 1$.

More Methods of Proof
If x and y are arbitrary real numbers with x < y, prove that there is at least one real number z satisfying x < z < y I understand that z = (x+y)/2 I don't understand how to prove that z = (x+y)/2
