To Prove- √2 as irrational
Proof-
If possible , let √2 be rational and let its simplest form be a/b.
Then, a and b are integers having no common factor other than 1, and b is not equal to 0.
Now, √2= a/b
on squaring both side , we get
2= a²/b²
2b² = a²..... equation 1
2 divides a² [ 2 divides 2b²]
2 divides a [ 2 is a prime and divides b² that is 2 divides b]
Let a = 2c for some integer c .
Putting a = 2c in equation 1, we get
2b²= 4c²
b²= 2c²
2 divides b² [ 2 divides 2c²]
2 divides b [ 2 is prime and 2 divides b² so 2 divides b]
Thus , 2 is a common factor of a and b.
But, this contradicts the fact that a and b have no common factor other than 1.
The contradiction arises by assuming that √2 is rational.
Hence , √2 is irrational.
✌️Hope it helps you ✌️
❤️ Thank you ❤️
