To Prove:
√2 is an irrational number.
Proof:
To prove √2 is an irrational number.
Let us assume √2 as a rational number.
We known that,
Rational numbers are written in the form of p/q.
=> √2 = p/q
Squaring on both sides.
=> 2 = (p/q)²
=> 2q² = p —— ⓵
=> p²/2 = q²
Hence, 2 divides p and p is a multiple of 2.
=> p = 2m
=> p² = 4m² —— ⓶
From ⓵ & ⓶,
=> 2q² = 4m²
=> q² = 2m²
- q² is a multiple of 2.
- q is a multiple of 2.
Hence, p and q have common factor 2.
Therefore, Our assumption is wrong that √2 is a rational number.
∴ √2 is an irrational number.
Hence Proved.
