Prove that 2 + 5√3 is an irrational number
Numbers (C10)
Prove that 2 + 5√3 is an irrational number, given that √3 is an irrational number.
Answer
Let 2 + 5√3 = a, where a is a rational number.
√3 = (a – 2)/5
Which is a contradiction as LHS is irrational and RHS is rational.
∴ 2 + 5√3 can not be rational.
Hence, 2 + 5√3 + is irrational.
