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!!!

Answer:

 \huge \bf \: given

  • prove that 3+3√5

 \huge \bf \: solution

Let assume that 3+3√5 is a rational number.

3 + 3 \sqrt{5}

3 + 3 \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{p}{q}

3 \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{p}{q}  + 3

3 \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{p  \div q - 3 }{3}

 \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{p-3q}{9}

So, p-3q / 9 is rational number.

but \:  \sqrt{5} \:  is \: not \: rational \: number

so \:  3 + 3 \sqrt{5}  \: is \: irrational
