If possible let 3 root under 2 is rational.
Then there exists co primes a and b (b not equal to 0)
such that
3 root under 2 = a/b
= root under 2 = a/3b
since a and b are integers so a/3b is rational.
thus, root under 2 is also rational.
But , this contradicts the fact that root under 2 is irrational . so our assumption is incorrect.
Hence 3 root under 2 is irrational.
