Answer:
root5 is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
lets support that root 5 is rational
root 5=p/q(where p and q r co prime integers and q is not equal to 0)
squaring both side
(root 5)2 =(p/q)2
5=p2/q2
5q2=p2
q2=p2/5
so 5 divide p2, so 5 also divide p,so 5 is afactor of p
if 5 divide p
so, p=5c
so we can write 5c in place of p2
q2=(5c)2/5
q2=25c2/5
q2=5c2
q2/5=c2
so 5 also divide q2
so 5 is a factor of q
we said that 5 is factor of both p and q but we also said that p and q r co prime, so p and q both don,t have any common factor except 1.
contradiction occur,
so our supposition is wrong
therefore root 5 is irrational
