prove that 6 + root 2 is an irrational number
Answers
Let 6+ √2 is a rational number then we get that a and b two co-prime integers.
Such that 6+ √2=a/b where b not equal
√2 = a/b - 6
√2 =(6-a/b)
Since a and b are two integers.
Therefore (6-a/b)is a rational number and So root also is a rational number.
But it is contradiction to fact root 2 =(6-a/b) is rational number.
So we that 6+ √2 is an irrational number.
Answer:
let √2be rational num
√2=p/q. where p and q are coprimes q≠0
(√2)^2=p^2/q^2
2q^2=p^2
as p^2 must be divisible by 2 there fore p must be divisible by 2
p=2c where c is constant
2q^2=2c^2
similarly as p,q must be also divisible by 2
as we discussed before that they are co prime
this is contradiction to our original assumption
=>√2is irrational no.
therefore when we are adding 6+√2
this gives us an irrational no
