Answer 2

Let as assume the opposite 7√2 is rational number.

i.e.

7√2 is a Rational number.

$\sf \frac{7}{ \sqrt{2} } = \frac{a}{b}$

Where a, b ≠ 0 ,

and a, b are Co-prime.

Here,

$7 \sqrt{2} = \frac{a}{b}$

$\sqrt{2} = \frac{1}{7}$

${\bold{\green{\underline{\underline{We \: know}}}}}$

$\sqrt{2}$ is an irrational number , or $\frac{1}{7}$ is a rational number .

Here,

$\sf \frac{a}{7b \: } \: is \: a \: rational \: number \: but \sqrt{2}\: is \: a \: rational \: number.$

Since, Rational ≠ Irrational

This Contradiction

∴ Our Assumption is incorrect.

Hence 7√2 is an irrational number.
