@₦S₩ER H₤R₤ ....
LET 3÷2√5 A IRRATIONAL NO.
SO, 3/2√5=R(R IS A RATIONAL NO.) -(A)
√5=3R/2
√5=P/Q (P AND Q ARE CO-PRIME AND QNOT EQUAL TO 0)
SQUARING BOTH SIDE
5=P²/Q²
5 DIVIDES P^2
SO, 5 DIVIDES P
5Q^2=(5M)^2 (FOR SOME M )
5Q^2=25M^2
Q^2=5M^2
5 DIVIDES Q^2
5 DIVIDES Q
*IT MEANS 5 DIVIDES BOTH P AND Q
BUT IT IS A CONTRADICTION AS P AND Q ARE CO-PRIMES
SO, LHS OF (A) IS A IRRATIONAL NO.
SO, RHS OF (A) MUST BE IRRATIONAL
# hope it helps you^_^
