⚪ root over 23 [ √23 ]
⚪ is an irrational number.
⚪ Real numbers
⚪ Irrational numbers
✒ If possible, be a rational number.
let , where a and b are co-primes and b ≠ 0.
Then,
✒
On squaring both the sides :
——————— ( 1 )
Therefore, is divisible by 23
Therefore, a is also divisible by 23.
let a = 23c, for some integer c. ——————— ( 2 )
On substituting ( 2 ) in ( 1 ) , we get :
Therefore, is divisible by 23.
Therefore, b is also divisible by 23.
Therefore, a and b have a common factor 23.
This contradicts the fact that a and b are co-primes.
This contradiction arises on assuming to be a rational number.
So, our assumption is wrong.
Hence, is an .
