Answer:
prove that the product of ( 5+2√3 and 5-2√3 is rational).
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that 5+2√3 is rational 5+2√3=p/q( where people and q are co prime)
2√3= p/q -5
2√3= p-5 q/q
√3= p-5q 12q
Now p, 5,2 and q and integers
= p-5q/2q is rational
√3 is rational
But wo know that√3 is irrational.that is a contradiction which has arisen due to our wrong assumption.
therefore,5+2√3 is irrational.
