prove that 8+2 root 3 is irrational number
Answers
Question:
prove that is 8+2√3 irrational number.
Answer:
let us assume that is 8+2√3 rational.
☆Thus it can be written in the form a/b (b≠0)and A and b are coprime.
☆since a and b are integers then we get (8b-a)/b is rational number and √3 is also rational number .
☆ but it is not true because √3is irrational.
☆ Therefore the given number 8+2√3is irrational and assumption taken is wrong.
An irrational number is real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers. When an irrational number is written with a decimal point, the numbers after the decimal point continue infinitely with no repeatable pattern.
The number "pi" or π (3.14159...) is a common example of an irrational number since it has an infinite number of digits after the decimal point. Many square roots are also irrational.
√3 is also irrational number.
