prove that√2,√3,√5,√p,√q are irrational number.
Answers
Answer:
We are going to prove it by contradiction.
First, let's assume 2√2 to be rational.
then,
2√2 = p/q, where q≠0 and p, q be co primes
then,
p = 2q√2. ( squaring on both sides)
p²=8q²
let's take 4q² as y² (because 4q²=(2q)²). *****(1)
then we get
p² = 2y²
here we see that p² is divisible by 2, so p is also
divisible by 2. .*****(2)
from (1) and (2), we see that both q and p are divisible
by 2. but this is contradicting that p, q are co primes
So, the assumption that 2√2 is rational is false.
hope it helps. if there are any corrections please inform me. (◠‿◕)

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
root 5 can be written as a/b
root 5 = a/b
root 5b=a
(root 5b²)=a²
5b²= a²
