Step-by-step explanation:
assuming root7 to be rational
therefore root 7 can be represented as p/q where p and q are positive integers and they are co-prime
by Euclid division lemma
root 7 = p/q
(on squaring Bothsides)
7= p² / q²
p² = 7q²
therefore 7 divide q²
by fundamental theorem of arithmetic
7divides q
Also 7 divide p²
similarly
7 divides p
hence p and q are not co-prime and our assumption is wrong
thus by the method of contradiction it is proved that root 7 is irrational
hope this helped
