If x²=2 then prove that 2 is irrational

Answers

Answered by neilakkiya

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 2 is "irrational" (cannot be written as a fraction) ... because if it could be written as a fraction then we would have the absurd case that the fraction would have even numbers at both top and bottom and so could always be simplified.
