Answer:
Prove that √3 is an Irrational:
Let us assume that √3 is a Rational Number.
Then it can be written in the form of p/q.
where p & q are Co Primes and q not equal to "0"
=> √3 = p/q
=> (√3)² = (p/q)² (Squaring on both sides)
=> 3 = p²/q²
=> 3q² = p²..................[1]
- It means 3 divides p² and also 3 divides p because each factors should be apper two times for the square to exist.
So we have p = 3r [ let "r" must be some Integer]
=> p² = (3r)² => p² = 9r² .............[2]
From equ [1] & [2]
=> 3q² = 9r²
=> q² = 3r²
where q² multiply of 3 and also q is Multiple of 3.
- So here p,q are common Multiples of 3 and they are Co Primes. Consequently p/q is not a Rational Number.
- So, √3 is an Irrational.
