PROOF THAT ROOT 3 IS RATIONAL NUMBER?
Answers
Answer:
Here is your answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The root of 3 is irrational. Specifically, it cannot be written as the ratio of two given numbers or be written as a simple fraction. The value of pi is a good example of an irrational number. Also note that each and every whole number is a rational number.

Hey mate.
Here your answer.....
Let us assume on the contrary that root 3 is a irrational number.
Then there positive integers a and b
Such that....
Root 3= a/b...where a and b are coprime...
Now,
Root 3 = a/b
3 = a^2/b^2
3b^2 = a^2
b^2 = 3/a^2
b= 3/a .............. Eq 1
>>>>> a= 3c for some integer c
a^2 = 9c^2
3b^2 =9c^2
b^2 = 3c^2
c^2 = 3/b^2
c= 3/b .......................... Eq 2
From 1 and 2 we observed that a and b have at least 3 as a common factor but this contradict the fact that a and b are coprime.
This means that our assumption is not correct.
Hence, root 3 is an irrational number...
