Step-by-step explanation:
let us assume on the contrary that 3 root is rational. Then, we can find two integers a and b such that 3 root 2 = a/b where b is not 0
Now, sending 3 to RHS
Root 2= a/3b
Also, a/3b is rational because a and b are integers
This means that root 2 is also rational.
This is a contradiction.
This contradiction has arisen due to our wrong assumption that 3 root 2 is rational.
Therefore, 3 root 2 is irrational.
Hence, proved!
