please explain me that what is irrational no & how to prove it in detail
Answers
Answer:Any repeating/recouring/non-terminating decimal number is a irrational number They are represented by P or Q'.Like 1.98749874... and 1.45364536... etc
The are roots of a non perfect square i.e, - 2 roots,3root,5root etc.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A number which cannot be expressed in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0 is called irrational number
If we want to prove a given no irrational the following are the steps
Let's take how to prove root 3 as irrational no
Let's us assume root 3 as rational
Root3= a/ b where a and b are co- primes , no common factor other than 1
Root 3 b = a
Squaring on both sides we get
3 b ^2 = a ^2
Therefore 3 divides a
Now let's us take
a=3c where c is some integer
Squaring on both sides
a^2 =9 c^2
But a^2 = 3b^2
Therefore
3b^2 = 9c^2
b^2 = 3c^2
3 divides b
As 3 divides both a and b our assumption is wrong that a and b are co- primes
Therefore root 3 is irrational
Hope this helps u ????!!!
