Show that 6+√2 is a rational number |
|
Answer» Let US assume 6+ 2 is rational. Then it can be expressed in the FORM qp , where p and q are co-primeThen, 6+ 2 = qp 2 = qp −62 = qp−6q -----(p,q,−6 are integers)qp−6q is rationalBut, 2 is IRRATIONAL.This contradiction is due to our INCORRECT assumption that 6+ 2IF it's correctmark it as brainliest is rationalHence, 6+ 2 is irrational |
