Question: prove 5+3√3 irrational
Step by step explanation:
Let us assume the contrary.
i.e; 5 + 3√3 is rational
∴ 5 + 3√3 = a/b, where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are coprime integers and b ≠ 0
3√3 = a/b – 5
3√3 = (a−5b)/b
Or,
√3 = (a−5b)/3b
Because ‘a’ and ‘b’ are integers (a−5b)/3b is rational
That contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational.
The contradiction is because of the incorrect assumption that (5 + 3√3) is rational.
So, 5 + 3√3 is irrational.
