Required Answer:-
Question:
- Prove that 6 + √13 is irrational.
Proof:
Let us assume that 6 + √13 is rational, say r.
Then,
➡ 6 + √13 = r
➡ √13 = r - 6
As r is rational,
➡ r - 6 is rational.
➡ √13 is rational.
But this contradicts the fact that √13 is irrational.
Hence, our assumption is wrong.
Therefore,
➡ 6 + √13 is an irrational number. (Hence Proved)
