Step-by-step explanation:
The dust of snow is the symbol of natural joy and energy. The dust of snow that the crow shakes off a hemlock tree means passing through the sad and depressing moments, the poet is entering the time full of joy and optimism.
and if we add a number with an irrational number. we will get an irrational number.
Let us assume that √5 is a rational number.
So it can be expressed in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers and q≠0
⇒ √5 = p/q
On squaring both the sides we get,
⇒5 = p²/q²
⇒5q² = p² —————–(i)
p²/5 = q²
So 5 divides p
p is a multiple of 5
⇒ p = 5m
⇒ p² = 25m² ————-(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get,
5q² = 25m²
⇒ q² = 5m²
⇒ q² is a multiple of 5
⇒ q is a multiple of 5
Hence, p,q have a common factor 5. This contradicts our assumption that they are co-primes. Therefore, p/q is not a rational number
√5 is an irrational number.
Hence proved if we add 5 to root 5 then it will be also irrational.
