hi mate
solution
√7 why irrational...
so..mate here you know that √7=a/b ( here a and b are co prime means they have only 1 as common factor. ... then mate
Here we find 7 is common which divide both a and b but this is contradiction because a and b are co prime they don't have common factor other than 1.
So for our assumption is wrong. Hence √7 is irrational.
so explaination here 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
