To prove: 3 + 2√7 is an irrational number.
Proof:
Let us assume that 3 + 2√7 is a rational number.
So it can be written in the form a/b
3 + 2√7= a/b
Here a and b are coprime numbers and b ≠ 0
Solving 3 + 2√7 = a/b we get,
=>2√7= a/b – 3
=>2√7= (a-3b)/b
=>√7 = (a-3b)/2b
This shows (a-3b)/2b is a rational number. But we know that But √7is an irrational number.
so it contradictsour assumption.
Our assumption of 3 + 2√7 is a rational number is incorrect.
