ANSWER
We have to prove that 3+
7
is irrational.
Let us assume the opposite, that 3+
7
is rational.
Hence 3+
7
can be written in the form
b
a
where a and b are co-prime and b
=0
Hence 3+
7
=
b
a
⇒
7
=
b
a
−3
⇒
7
=
b
a−3b
where
7
is irrational and
b
a−3b
is rational.
Since,rational
= irrational.
This is a contradiction.
∴ Our assumption is incorrect.
Hence 3+
7
is irrational.
Hence proved.
