Prove that √5 is an irrational number step by step explaination

Answer 1

Answer:

we have to prove that root5 is irrational

let us assume the opposite,

I.e's root 5 is rational.

hence root 5 can be written in the form p/q

where p/q (q is not equal to 0)

hence,root 5=p/q

root 5b=a

squaring both sides

(root 5b)²=a²

5b²=a²
