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=ba.
Therefore 4−ba=3.
Rearranging this equation, we get 3=4−ba
=b4b−a
Since a and b are integers, we get b4b−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.
