4. Prove that square root of 3 is irrational no
Answers
Answer:
The square root of 3 is irrational. It cannot be simplified further in its radical form and hence it is considered as a surd. Now let us take a look at the detailed discussion and prove that root 3 is irrational.
Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume to the contrary that √3 is a rational number.
It can be expressed in the form of p/q
It can be expressed in the form of p/qwhere p and q are co-primes and q≠ 0.
⇒ √3 = p/q
⇒ √3 = p/q⇒ 3 = p2/q2 (Squaring on both the sides)
⇒ √3 = p/q⇒ 3 = p2/q2 (Squaring on both the sides)⇒ 3q2 = p2………………………………..(1)
It means that 3 divides p2 and also 3 divides p because each factor should appear two times for the square to exist.
So we have p = 3r
So we have p = 3rwhere r is some integer.
So we have p = 3rwhere r is some integer.⇒ p2 = 9r2………………………………..(2)
So we have p = 3rwhere r is some integer.⇒ p2 = 9r2………………………………..(2)from equation (1) and (2)
So we have p = 3rwhere r is some integer.⇒ p2 = 9r2………………………………..(2)from equation (1) and (2)⇒ 3q2 = 9r2
So we have p = 3rwhere r is some integer.⇒ p2 = 9r2………………………………..(2)from equation (1) and (2)⇒ 3q2 = 9r2⇒ q2 = 3r2
