Prove that √2is irrational.
SolutiOn:
Let if possible √2 is not irrational,i.e.√2 is rational number.
Then by diffinition of rational number,we can write
\sqrt{2} =\frac{p}{q}
where p and q are integers such that p and q have no common factor expect 1,i.e,
HCF(p,q) = 1
Now, squaring both sides,we get
_________________(∴ 2/2q² and 2q² = p²)
=>. 2/p ..............(1)
=> p = 2r for some integer r
Therefore,
p² = 4r²
=> 2q² = 4r²
=> q² = 2r²
=> 2/q²
=> 2/q.....................(2)
From (1) & (2) we conclude that 2 is a common factor of p & q which is a contradiction, because we have assumed that p and q have no common factor expect 1.
Therefore ,our assumption is wrong .
Hence,√2 is an irrational number.

Prove that 3+2√5 is irrational.
SolutiOn:
Let if possible 3+2√5is not irrational,i.e., it is rational.
Then, according to diffinition:
3+2\sqrt{5} = \frac{p}{q}
=> \sqrt{5} is a rational number, which is a contradiction because\sqrt{5} is an irrational number.
Therefore, our assumption is wrong.
Hence,the given number is irrational.

(i) Let 1/√2 is rational.
Then, by diffinition of rational number,we can write.
\frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } =\frac{p}{q} ,q≠0
Squaring both sides,we get
- 2 divides q²
- 2 divides q...........(1)
=> p = 2r, for some r
=> 2p² = 4r²
=> p² = 2r²
- 2 divides p²
- 2divides p...........(2)
From (1) and (2) Nikon conclude that p and q have common factor 2 ,other that which is contradiction so, our assumption is wrong.
Hence, 1/√2 is irrational.

(ii) Let 7√5 is not irrational.
by diffinition,
7√5 =p/q..........(1)
=> \sqrt{5} =p/7q.........(2)
Since,p and q are integers , therefore p and q are also integers.
=> p/7q is rational number.
i.e., RHS of (2) is rational therefore LHS ,i.e., √5 is also rational , which is a contradiction because √5 is irrational.
Hence, 7√5 is irrational.
(iii) same as question 2nd.
