Answer:

To prove that √2 is an irrational number, we will use the contradiction method. ⇒ p2 is an even number that divides q2. Therefore, p is an even number that divides q. ... This leads to the contradiction that root 2 is a rational number in the form of p/q with p and q both co-prime numbers and q ≠0

Answer:

Problem statement: Prove that Root 2 is Irrational Number

Given: The number 2

  • There are two methods to prove that √2 is an irrational number, and those methods are:

  • By contradiction method
  • By long-division method

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The square root of a number is the number that gets multiplied to itself to give the original number. The square root of 2 is represented as √2. The actual value of √2 is undetermined. The decimal expansion of √2 is infinite because it is non-terminating and non-repeating. Any number that has a non-terminating and non-repeating decimal expansion is always an irrational number. So, √2 is an irrational number.
