To prove:
- 3+3√5 is an irrational no
Proof:
The proof below is based on assumption and contradiction.
Let us assume on an contrary that 3 + 3√5 is rational.
Then,
⇒ 3 + 3√5 = p/q
Where p, q are integers and q is not equals to 0.
⇒ 3√5 = p/q - 3
⇒ 3√5 = p - 3q / 3
⇒ √5 = p - 3q / 9
Since p, q, 3 and 9 are rational numbers, p - 3q / 9 is also a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that √5 is an irrational number. This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 3 + 3√5 is a rational number.
Thus,
3 + 3√5 is a irrational number. Hence, proved!!!
