Question

( root 2-2)power 2. Prove this number as irrational number..

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is where mathematical proof comes in. The proof that √2 is indeed irrational is usually found in college level math texts, but it isn't that difficult to follow. It does not rely on computers at all, but instead is a "proof by contradiction": if √2 WERE a rational number, we'd get a contradiction. I encourage all high school students to study this proof since it illustrates so well a typical proof in mathematics and is not hard to follow.
