Step-by-step explanation:
let root 5 be rational
then it must in the form of p/q [q is not equal to 0][p and q are co-prime]
root 5=p/q
=> root 5 * q =p
squaring on both sides
=> 5*q*q = p*p
p*p is divisible by 5
p is divisible by 5
p= 5c [c is a positive integer] [squaring on both sides ]
p*p = 25c*c > 2
sub p*p in 1
5*q*q = 25*c*c
q*q = 5*c*c
=> q is divisble by 5
thus q and p have a common factor 5
there is a contradiction
as our assumsion p & q are co prime but it has a common factor
so v5 is an irrational
