prove that 2+root 3 is an irrational number
Answers
Answer:
Let 2+√3 is a rational number.
A rational number can be written in the form of p/q.
2+√3=p/q
√3=p/q-2
√3=(p-2q)/q
p,q are integers then (p-2q)/q is a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number.
So,our supposition is false.
Therefore,2+√3 is an irrational number.
Hence proved.

let us assume that 2+√3 is not an irrational number. then, it will be a rational number. 2+√3= p/q= a/b ( where a and b are co-prime). or, 2+√3 =a/b. or, √3= a/2b. so, an irrational number is not equal to the rational number. so, our assumption was wrong. hence, 2+√3 is an irrational number. i hope it helps you ........
