no in next step √16 became 4


abhishek25dh: BUT WE CAN KEEP IT ROOT 16 THROUGHOUT

why are u going to use the method of contradiction for proving that root 16 is irrational? it is not at all necessary to do so. this is because the square of 4 is 16. therefore root 16 can be rewritten as root 4x4. therefore, it is 4.


abhishek25dh: i am saying that contradiction method is wrong
hardiksingh2004: no i think you need to revise it again with concept under brillient teacher
hardiksingh2004: you are in 10
abhishek25dh: no i am in 6th
hardiksingh2004: in 6 there is no contradiction methood
nexuspo: u r in 6th right?? so jst listen to wht I am saying...because in class 10 we have to prove similar things...lika prove that root 3 is irrational.
hardiksingh2004: i am talking to abhishek
nexuspo: ooo...sorry....I could not understand it earlier
abhishek25dh: i am in 6th , but i am studying 10th similar triangles, i just want to say that the contradiction method can be used also with rational number to prove it as irrational , i tried it 10 times.. the method is not accurate
