Answer:
we have to prove that √2 is irrational
so let us assume that √2 us rational
so, √2=p/q( it can be written in the form of p/q)
thus, p and q are co-primes and qis not equal to 0
now, on squaring both sides,
(√2)²=(p/q)²
2=p²/q²
p²=2q²
p² is divisible by 2
so, p is also divisible by 2(Theo 1)
p= 2×k(any integer)
p=2k
(2k)²= 2q²
2q²= 4k²
q²=2k²
q² is divisible by 2
so, q is also divisible by 2
but this contradicts to the fact that p and q are co-primes
this contradiction has raised due to our wrong assumption that √2 is rational
thus, √2 is irrational
hope this helps
