Answer:
- 5 - 3/(7√3) is an irrational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 5 - 3/(7√3)
To find
- To prove that it is a irrational number.
Solution
⇾ Let us assume 5 - 3/(7√3) to be a rational number,
⇾ Then, let's write it in the form p/q,
⇾ 3/(7√3) = 5 - p/q (L.C.M)
⇾ 3/(7√3) = 5q - p/(q) (Cross multiply)
⇾ 3q/(5q - p) = 7√3
⇾ 3q/7(5q - p) = √3
Here the L.H.S is a rational number and R.H.S are integers.
And as we know that a rational number cannot be equal to an irrational number, 5 - 3/(7√3) is an irrational number.
