3√5*2√5 is an irrational number. (true/false)
Answers
Let us assume 3√2 + √5 = a rational number = p / q where p and q are integers and q is not 0.
Let us assume that p / q is in reduced form and have no common factors and are prime to each other.
(3 √2 + √5 )² = p² / q² 18 + 5 + 6 √10 = p² / q² √10 = (p²-23 q²) / 6 q² = m/n where m and n are integers and n≠ 0
0 = m² / n² or, m * m = 2 * 5 * n * n Since m and n are prime to each other, m must have a factor of 2 and a factor of 5 also. Let m = 2 * 5* k.
2 * 5 * k * 2 * 5 * k = 2 * 5 * n * n
2 * 5 * k * k = n * n
Hence n must have as a factor 2 and 5 also. So, n = 2 * 5 * h. We started with p/q where they are co-prime and derived that they have common factors 2 and 5. Our assumption that the given number is a rational number , must be wrong. Hence, 3 √2 + √5 is irrational.
============
we know that (a +b)(a - b) = a² - b²(3√2 + √5) (3√2 - √5) = (3√2)² - (√5)² = 9*2 - 5 = 13. So the product of the two irrational numbers is rational and in fact, is a positive integer.
Answer: False, 3√5*2√5 is not an irrational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Since we know that 30 is a rational number as we can write in p/q form.
Hence, False, 3√5*2√5 is not an irrational number.
