Prove that 3+2√3 is an irrational number |
|
Answer» Sorry there should be let before the very first word of the solution given below?? 3 + 2 root 3 is a rational number where a divided by b is the simplest form of 3 + 2 root 3 where no any common factor other than 1.Now, a/b=3+2√3==> 2√3=a-3b/b ==> √3= a-3b/2b...Since a-3b/2b is a rational no. And so √3 is a rational no. But this contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational...Hence our supposition was wrong and so 3+2√3 is an irrational...?? |
