Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, 12−−√=23–√12=23 is irrational. There is a simple proof for the irrationality of 3–√3.
There is also a simple general proof that shows that the square root of any non-negative integer which is not a perfect square is in fact irrational. So: The square root of an integer is either an integer or it is an irrational number, it can never be a non-integer rational number.
Let’s try to prove this via proof by contradiction.
Let n∈Nn∈N, and let nn not be the square of an integer.
Assume n−−√n is rational:
n−−√=pqn=pq
with pp and qq non-negative integers, q>0q>0 and pp and qq being co-prime, i.e. gcd(p,q)=1gcd(p,q)=1.
Then
n=p2q2n=p2q2
As p2p2 and q2q2 still cannot share a common factor, q2q2 and therefore qq has to be 11, otherwise the fully-reduced fraction cannot be an integer.
Therefore
n=p2n=p2
But we assumed
