Prove that √p is irrational.
To prove ;- √p is irrational.
Assuming √p a rational number.
So , p = a / b { Here a & b are composite }
=> a = pb
=> a² = p²b²
Here ,
If a² gets divisible by p² then it follows that it is also divisible by p or we can also write as ;-
=> b² = p²c²
Than ,
If b² is divisible by p² then it follows that b is also b is also divisible by f.
So ,
We could observe that here a & b both have p as common factor but a & b are composite numbers.
Thus , we can say that √p is irrational.
