Answer:
Heya Here's the required Answer mate
Given:
- 3 + 4√5
To prove:
- 3 + 4√5 is an irrational number.
Proof:
- Let us assume that 3 + 4√5 is a rational number.
- So, it can be written in the form a/b
- 3 + 4√5 = a/b
- Here a and b are coprime numbers and b ≠ 0
- Solving 3 + 4√5 = a/b we get,
- =>4√5 = a/b – 3
- =>4√5 = (a-3b)/b
- =>√5 = (a-3b)/4b
- This shows (a-3b)/4b is a rational number. But we know that √5 is an irrational number.
- So, it contradicts our assumption. Our assumption of 3 + 4√5 is a rational number is incorrect.
- 3 + 4√5 is an irrational number
Hope it helps bete
