Answer:
it is a irrational number
Step-by-step explanation:
assume that 5+root isa rational no
5+root=p÷q(p,qbelongs to Z ( integer) q not equal to 0)
send root3to another side
now it is like as
5=p÷q-root 3
squaring on both sides
25=(p÷q-√3)square
25=(p÷q)square+3-2√3p÷q
now send -2√3p÷q to left side it is as
and also send 25 to right side
2√3p÷q=(p÷q)square+3-25
2√3p÷q=(p÷q) square-22
now do lcm on right side
- it is as. 2√3p÷q=(p÷q) square-22(q)square/(q)square. now cancel q which is on left side denominator with Q square on right side denominator
now sent 2p÷q to right side it is as
√3=(p÷q)square -22(q)square/2pq
note that lHS 1 is not =to RHS 1
on which is a contradiction that what our assumption is wrong i.e 5+√3 isa rational no
hence we proved that 5+√3 is irrational number
