Prove root 5 is irrational no. |
|
Answer» Its wrong yrr Let us assume that √5 is a rational number.we know that the rational numbers are in the form of p/q form where p,q are intezers.so, √5 = p/q p = √5qwe know that \'p\' is a rational number. so √5 q must be rational since it equals to pbut it doesnt occurs with √5 since its not an intezertherefore, p =/= √5qthis contradicts the fact that √5 is an irrational numberhence our assumption is wrong and √5 is an irrational number.\xa0 |
