Answer:
hello
Step-by-step explanation:
while division you'll notice that root 3 neither has a terminating decimal nor a repeating non-terminating one . hence it is an irrational number.
Answer:
That's very easy!!!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us suppose that √3 is a rational number.
so, √3 = p/q where q is not equal to 0 and p and q are integers which have no common prime factors other than 1
Now,
√3 = p/q
p = q√3
on squaring both sides,
p² = 3q²
q² = p²/3.....(1.)
p² divided by 3
p also divided by 3
Let p = 3m
on squaring both sides,
p² = 9m²
Now,
from equation (1.)
q² = 9m²/3
q² = 3m²
m² = q²/3.........(2.)
q² divided by 3
q also divided by 3
so, from equation 1st and 2nd
Our supposition is wrong.
√3 is an irrational number.
