Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hii friend

__________

here is your answer

__________________

2√3-1 is irrational

PROOF:

An irrational number is non recurring and cannot be represented in a fractional form.

so,

The value of 2√3 = 3.4641016151377...

Thus, 3.4641016151377... + 1 = 4.4641016151377...

Thus, proved that 2√3 + 1 is irrational.

Or........

Let 2√3-1 be a rational number.

A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p,q are integers.

2√3-1=p/q

2√3=p/q+1

2√3=(p+q)/q

√3=(p+q)/2q

p,q are integers then (p+q)/2q is a rational number.

Then,√3 is also a rational number.

But this contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number.

Therefore, our supposition is false.

So,2√3-1 is an irrational number

Hope it help u.....

Answer 2

√3=1.732050....

√3+1=2.73205080756........

therefore √3+1 is irrational
