Answer 1

SOLUTION

IRRATIONAL NUMBER

Answer 2

Answer:

Let us assume the given number be rational and we will write the given number in p/q form

⇒5− √3 =p/q

⇒√3 = 5q−p/q

We observe that LHS is irrational and RHS is rational, which is not possible.

This is contradiction.

Hence our assumption that given number is rational is false

⇒5− ✓3 is irrational
