Step-by-step explanation:
Let √2 is a rational no.
So,
√2=a/b
square both sides,
2=a²/b²
a²=2b²
Hence a² is divisible by 2.
So a is also divisible by 2.
Now let,
a=2c
sqaure both sides,
a²=4c²
2b²=4c² (as a²=2b²)
b²=2c²
b² is divisible by 2
so b is also divisible by 2.
a and b both are divisible by 2 but rational no. are in form of a/b in which a and b are co-prime.
So we arive at a contradiction.
hence, √2 is irrational no.
Let 3-√2 is rational.
3-√2= x
x-3 = -√2
3-x = √2
x is rational
so 3-x is rational
but √2 is irrational so
we arrive at a contradiction.
Hence 3-√2 is irrational.
