let us suppose that 3√7 is a rational number
so 3√7= a/b which are coprime number
√7=a/3b
√7=intergers/3×integers
√7 is a rational number
which contradicts our Statment so 3√7 is a irrational number

HLO FRND HERE IS UR ANSWER FRND...
LET US TAKE ON CONTRARY THAT 3√7 IS RATIONAL.
THEN THERE EXIST TWO CO PRIME NUMBERS, a AND b SUCH THAT
3√7=a/b
→√7=a/3b
NOW LHS IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER
WHEREAS RHS IS RATIONAL.
THIS CONTRADICTION HAS ARISED DUE TO OUR WRONG ASSUMPTION IN BEGINNING. THEREFORE 3√7 IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER.
HOPE IT'S HELP YOU.
