prove that 3/root5 is irrational number
Answers
Answer:
a rational number is one that can be represented in the form of p/q where q is not equal to zero and PA and q are both integers and since root 5 is not an integer 3/√5 is not a rational number and is thus irrational.
Concept: The group of real numbers known as irrational numbers are those that cannot be stated as a fraction, p/q, where p and q are integers. (q 0) The denominator is not equal to zero. Additionally, an irrational number's decimal expansion neither repeats nor terminates.
Given: is the given number.
Find: Whether is rational or not.
Solution: Suppose that is rational then it is of the form where q≠0
and p and q are integers.
But then 3q=p/√5 which shows that 3q is an integer and hence, is also an integer, which is false. Hence, our assumption was wrong.
Therefore, 3√5 is irrational number.
