Prove that 3+2 √5 is irrational |
| Answer» Let us assume 3+√5 is a rational numberBut all the rational no. are in the form p/q So we can also write 3+√5 in p/q form and when we divide p/q with any of their common factor we get a/b which are coprime 3+√5 = a/b √5 = a/b-3 √5= a-3b/b But we know a-3b/b is a rational noBut √5 is an irrational number=> Our assumption is wrong. => 3+√5 is an irrational no | |
