prove 3+√2is irrational
Answers
Answer:Let us assume the contrary that 3+root2 is rational.
Therefore we find two integers a and b such that 3+root2=a/b, where a and b are co-prime and b is not equal to 0.
3+root2=a/b
Root2=a-3b/b
Since a-3b and b are integers.
Therefore they are rational
Therefore root2 is also a rational number as LHS=RHS.
But is given that root2 is irrational
(the question is incomplete who typed it)
Therefore we have reached a contradiction
Therefore our assumption is wrong
Therefore 3+root2 is an irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Let us assume that 3+√2 be a rational number
it can be written as in the form of p/q
now 3+√2 = p/q
√2= p-3q/q
since p/q is rational number therefore p-3q/qis also rational number , hence √2 is rational number
but it contradict the fact that√2 is irrational number
hence we conclude that 3+√2 is an irrational number.
