Step-by-step explanation:
let 7 root 5 is rational
a/b = 7 root 5 ( where a and b are integers and co prime )
a/ 7b = root 5
a/7b is rational a and b are integers
root 7 is irrational
rational not equal to irrational
our supposition is wrong 7 root 5 is irrational
I don't know from where to use mathematical signs but I tried to do my best

Step-by-step explanation:
- let us assume,to the contrary, that 7√5 is rational.
- that is,we can find coprime a and b (b≠o) such that
- 7√5=a/b
- By rearranging , we get
- √5=a/7b
since,a and b are integers, therefore a/7b is rational, and so √5is rational.
but this contradicts the fact that√5is irrational.
so, we conclude that 7√5 is irrational.
