prove that √3 is irrational
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume to the contrary that √3 is a rational number. where p and q are co-primes and q≠ 0. Consequently, p / q is not a rational number. This demonstrates that √3 is an irrational number.
Answer:
Let's us asume that the contrary that √3 is rational.
√3=a/b. [ a and b are co-prime]
√3b=a. [ squaring both sides]
3b square=a square. [a square is divisible by 3].................(I)
a=3c. [ c is any integer]
3b square= (3c) square
3b square=9c square
b square = 3c square [ b Square is divisible by 3]...............(ii)
by (i) and (ii)
a and b having common factor 3.
so this contradiction is arisen because our incorrect assumption.
then √3 is Irrational.
