Question

prove that √5 is an irrational number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mates! this is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that rational numbers are in the form of p/q where p and q are integers hence our assumption is wrong and √5 is an irrational number.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose √5 is a rational number

then let √5=p\q

here left side is a irrational number and right side is rational number which is contradictory

therefore √5 is not a rational number but it is a irrational number
