Step-by-step explanation:
Let 6+root 2 is a rational number then we get that a and b two co-prime integers. Since a and b are two integers. Therefore (6-a/b)is a rational number and So root also is a rational number. But it is contradiction to fact root 2 =(6-a/b) is rational number.
To Prove :-
- 6 + √2 is a Irrational Number.
Proof :-
On the contrary let us assume that 6 + √2 is a rational number.
So it can be expressed in the form of p /q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero also HCF of p and q is 1.
Now as per our assumption ,
⇒ p/q = 6 + √2.
⇒ √2 = p/q - 6.
⇒ √2 = p - 6q / q .
N ow we cannot see that in LHS is a irrational number but in RHS as per our assumption p - 6q / q is a Rational number. This can never happen.
So we have arrived at a contradiction hence our assumption was wrong .
Hence 6 + √2 is a irrational number.
