Answer:
let us assume to the contrary that
is a rational
Step-by-step explanation:
that is we can find integers a and b ( not =0 ) such that √3 =a/b squaring both side a^2 =(√3 b^2 )=
√3 divide a
√3 divide a^2
we can write a 3 c for some integer
(3c)^2 =3b^2
9c^2 =3b^2
9/3=b^2
=3/1 = 3c^2 b^2
3 divide b^2
3divide b
there a and b have at lest 3 is common factor but this contracdicts the fact that a and b have no common factor other than. this contracdiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that √3 is rational we conclude that √3 is irrational.
