Answer:

Now suppose that r is odd. Then r2 is odd and 3r2 is odd which implies that q2 is odd and so q is odd. Since both q and r are odd, we can write q=2m−1 and r=2n−1 for some m,n∈N.

Therefore

q2=3r2

(2m−1)2=3(2n−1)2

4m2−4m+1=3(4n2−4n+1)

4m2−4m+1=12n2−12n+3

4m2−4m=12n2−12n+2

2m2−2m=6n2−6n+1

2(m2−m)=2(3n2−3n)+1

We note that the lefthand side of this equation is even, while the righthand side of this equation is odd, which is a contradiction. Therefore there exists no rational number r such that r2=3.

Hence the root of 3 is an irrational number.
