prove that 3√2 is irrational
Answers
Answer:3+√2 = a/b ,where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero .. therefore, √2 = (3b - a)/b is rational as a, b and 3 are integers.. ... So, it concludes that 3+√2 is irrational..
prove :
Let 3+√2 is an rational number.. such that
3+√2 = a/b ,where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero ..
therefore,
3 + √2 = a/b
√2 = a/b -3
√2 = (3b-a) /b
therefore, √2 = (3b - a)/b is rational as a, b and 3 are integers..
It means that √2 is rational....
But this contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational..
So, it concludes that 3+√2 is irrational..
hence proved..

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that is a rational number.
therefore, it can be shown in the form of p / q.
Hence, =p/q
⇒p/3q
Here, root 2 is irrational number.
p/3q is a rational number.
As, rational ≠ irrational
So, our assumption is wrong.
Hence proved, 3√2 is an irrational number.
Hope u understood the answer.
