prove that 2+root 3 is an irrational
Answers
Let 2+√3 is a rational number. A rational number can be written in the form of p/q. p,q are integers then (p-2q)/q is a rational number. ... Therefore,2+√3 is an irrational number.

Answer:
Whole proving in Explanation Panel.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume, the contrary, that 2+√3 is a Rational Number.
Therefore, 2+√3 = a/b , where a and b are co-primes.
2+√3 = a/b
√3 = a/b - 2
√3 = a - 2b/b
Here, a - 2b/b is in the form p/q. So, it is a rational number. Also, √3 is rational.
But, the contradicts fact is √3 is irrational.
So, the contradiction arisen because of our incorrect assumption that 2+√3 is Rational.
Hence, this shows that 2+√3 is irrational.
