prove that 2√15 ia an irrational number
Answers
To prove : -
2√15 is an irrational number .
Solution:-
Let 2√15 be an rational number.
Therefore, we can find two co - prime integers a, b ( b not equal to 0 ) such that ,
2√15 = a / b
√15 = 1/2 ( a/b)
√15 = a/2b
Since a and b are integers , a/2b will also be rational and therefore √15 is rational.
This contradicts the fact that √15 is an irrational . Hence our assumption that 2√15 is rational is false.
Therefore, 2√15 is irrational.
Answer:
2√15 is an irrational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let we assume that 2√15 is a rational number then,
2√15 = a\b
√15 = a\2b
We know that √15 is an irrational number therefore 2√15 is also irrational number
