prove that 3+2√5 is irrational
Answers
Answer:
see that and try to understand
it's f
√5 is not divisible
and if you add 3and 2 then 5 so its 5√5 it's impossible to formed in p/q
Step-by-step explanation:
so it's irrational
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Prove that 3+2√5 is irrational
Given:3 + 2√5
To prove:3 + 2√5 is an irrational number.
Proof:
Let us assume that 3 + 2√5 is a rational number.
So it can be written in the form a/b
3 + 2√5 = a/b
Here a and b are co-prime numbers and b ≠ 0
Solving 3 + 2√5 = a/b we get,
=>2√5 = a/b – 3
=>2√5 = (a-3b)/b
=>√5 = (a-3b)/2b
This shows (a-3b)/2b is a rational number. But we know that But √5 is an irrational number.
so it contradict sour assumption.
Our assumption of 3 + 2√5 is a rational number is incorrect.
3 + 2√5 is an irrational number
Hence proved .
