Question

prove that √2-√7 is irrational.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer. since a is an integer therefore a^2-9/2 is also an integer and therefore root 14 is also an integer but integers are not rational numbers therefore root 2+root 7 is an irrational number. proved

Answer 2

Answer:

Suppose (sqrt(2) + sqrt(7)) is not irrational but rational number and equal to r. Then ,

sqrt(2) + sqrt(7) = r ==> sqrt(2) = r - sqrt(7) ==> 2 = r^(2 ) + 7 - 2r sqrt(7) or

sqrt(7) = (r^(2) + 5)/2r . But r.h.s. here is a rational number while l.h.s. is an irrational number, a contradiction .
