Prove that 3/root5 is irrational
Answers
Answer:
the value of 3/√5 = 1.3416....
An irrational number is a number that can't be expressed as a fraction for any integers and these numbers have decimal expansions that neither terminate nor become periodic.
So it is a irrational number.
Hence Proved.

Hey!!! Here is your answer......
Lets assume 3√5 is a rational number.
3√5 = a/b (where b≠0)
3= a/b -√5
Squaring on both sides....
(3)²= [a/b-√5]
9 = a²/b²+5 -2(a/b) (√5)
(since (a-b) ²= a²+b²-2ab)
Rearranging.....
2a/b √5 = a²/b²-4
2a/ b √5 = a²-4b²/b²
√5 = a²-4b²/2ab
Here L. H. S = irrational number.
R. H. S = rational number.
An irrational number is not equal to rational number. Thus it contradicts the fact.
So, our assumption is wrong that 3√5 is a rational number.
:. 3√5 is an irrational number.
Hence proved..
