Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the contrary, that 4−
3
is rational.
That is, we can find co-prime a and b (b
=0) such that 4−
3
=
b
a
.
Therefore 4−
b
a
=
3
.
Rearranging this equation, we get
3
=4−
b
a
=
b
4b−a
Since a and b are integers, we get
b
4b−a
is rational, and so
3
is rational.
But this contradicts the fact that
3
is irrational,
This contradicts the fact that
3
is irrational.
This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that 4-
3
is rational.
so, we conclude that 4−
3
is irrational
