Question

prove that√p+√q is irrational if p and q are prime factors​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rational numbers are closed under multiplication, so if we square both sides, we still get rational numbers on both sides. ... But since p and q are both primes, then pq is not a perfect square and therefore √(pq) is not rational. But this is a contradiction. Original assumption must be wrong.
