Pove that √7 is irrational number
Answers
Answer:
Lets assume that √7 is rational number. ie √7=p/q. we divide by the common factor to get √7 = a/b were a and b are co-prime number. ... This is contridite to the fact that a and b have no common factor.

Answer:
Lets assume that √7 is rational number. ie √7=p/q.
suppose p/q have common factor then
we divide by the common factor to get √7 = a/b were a and b are co-prime number.
that is a and b have no common factor.
√7 =a/b co- prime number
√7= a/b
a=√7b
squaring
a²=7b² .......1
a² is divisible by 7
a=7c
substituting values in 1
(7c)²=7b²
49c²=7b²
7c²=b²
b²=7c²
b² is divisible by 7
that is a and b have atleast one common factor 7. This is contridite to the fact that a and b have no common factor.This is happen because of our wrong assumption.
√7 is irrational.
