let √3 - √2 = (a/b) is a rational no.
On squaring both sides , we get
2 + 3 - 2√6 = (a2/b2)
So,5 - 2√6 = (a2/b2) a rational no.
So, 2√6 = 5- (a2/b2)
Since, 2√6 is an irrational no. and 5 - (a2/b2) is a rational no.
So, my contradiction is wrong.
So, (√3 - √2) is an irrational no.
Answer:
let us assume the contrary that root 3 -root 2 is a rational number.
so that,
root 3- root 2 = a/b [ Where a and b has no common factor other than 1 ]
root 3 - a/b = root 2
squaring both sides
using the formula (a+b)2 = a2+ 2ab + b2
after that the value comes .
Then that is an integer and rational number.
But this contrary fact arises because of our incorrect assumption.
Therefore root 3 - root 2 is a irrational Number.
