Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 5 = p q , where p and q are the integers and q ≠0. Since p , q and 3 are integers. So, p - 3 q q is a rational number. ... Hence, is an irrational number
mark as brilliant and take thanks for all question
Given :-
- A Irrational Number √3/5 .
To Prove :-
- It is a Irrational Number.
Proof :-
Firstly we must know that ,
- Sum of rational number and a Irrational number is Irrational.
- Difference of rational number and a Irrational number is Irrational.
- Multiplication of rational number and a Irrational number is Irrational.
- Division of rational number and a Irrational number is Irrational.
Let's try to Prove √3 as Irrational Number.
On the contrary let us assume that √3 is a a rational number so it can be expressed in the form of p by q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero , also HCF of p and q is one.
⇒ √3 = p/q .
⇒ (√3)² =(p/q)².
⇒ 3 = p²/q².
⇒ 3q²=p².
This implies that 3 is a factor of p² .
So it will divide p also .
Let p = 3k .............(i)
⇒ 3q²=(3k)².
⇒ 3q²=9k².
⇒q²=9k²/3.
⇒q²=3k².
This implies that 3 is a factor of q² .
So it will divide q also .
This contradicts our assumption that p and q are co-primes . Hence our assumption was wrong .
√3 is a Irrational Number.
So , now 5 is a Rational number . And √3 is Irrational number . And we know that division of rational number and a Irrational Number is always Irrational .
