Prove that (4 – 5√2 ) is an irrational number. |
Answer» Let us assume that (4 – 5√2 ) is a rational. Subtract given number form 4, considering 4 is a rational number. As we know, Difference of two rational numbers is a rational. 4 – (4 – 5√2 ) is rational 5√2 is rational Which is only possible if 5 is rational and √2 is rational As we know, product of two rational number is rational. But the fact is √2 is an irrational. Which is contradict to our assumption. Hence, 4 – 5√2 is irrational. Hence Proved. |
