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

hope it helps you

please mark me as brainlist and follow

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.
