Here Is Your Ans ⤵

----

  let \: 2 -  \sqrt{3} \: is \: an \: rational \: number \\  \\ =  > 2 -  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{a}{b}  \\  \\  =  >  -  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{a}{b}  - 2 \\  \\  =  >  \sqrt{3}  =   \frac{ - a + 2b}{b}

We Know That Irrational Number Always Not Equal To Rational Number

Irrational ≠ Rational number

So , Our Assumptions Is Wrong

Hence , 2 - √3 Is an Irrational Number

• Let us assume that 2 - √3 is an rational number.

→ 2 - √3 = \dfrac{a}{b}

Here ... a and b are co-prime numbers

→ - √3 = \dfrac{a}{b} - 2

→ - √3 = \dfrac{a\:-\:2b}{b}

→ √3 = \dfrac{2b\:-\:a}{b}

Here ..

\dfrac{2b\:-\:a}{b} is rational number.

So, √3 is also a rational number.

But we know that √3 is irrational number.

So, our assumption is wrong.

2 - √3 is irrational number.
