Question

prove that root 5 + root 2 is irrational number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let root 5+root2 be a rational number that is it can be expressed in the form of p/q where both p and q are integer and q is not equal to 0.

after solving our contradiction becomes wrong and hence we can say that the number is an irrational number

Answer 2

Solution: Let √2+√5 be a rational number.

A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p,q are integers.

√2+√5 = p/q

Squaring on both sides,

(√2+√5)² = (p/q)²

√2²+√5²+2(√5)(√2) = p²/q²

2+5+2√10 = p²/q²

7+2√10 = p²/q²

2√10 = p²/q² - 7

√10 = (p²-7q²)/2q

p,q are integers then (p²-7q²)/2q is a rational number.

Then √10 is also a rational number.

But this contradicts the fact that √10 is an irrational number.

.°. Our supposition is false.

√2+√5 is an irrational number.

Hence proved.
