Let us take on contrary that 3 root 7 is rational. then there exist two co prime numbers a and b such that
3root 7 = a/b
=> root 7 = a / 3b
now LHS is an irrational no. whereas RHS is rational
this contradiction has arised due to our wrong assumption in beginning
therefore 3 root 7 is an irrational number
HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU ✌ ✌

Let us assume 3√7 is a rational number.
Hence it can be written in the form of
Where a and b are co-prime.
Hence,
3√7 =
√7 =
Where √7 is IRRRATIONAL no. And [tex]\dfrac{a}{3b} is a RATIONAL no.
Irrational ≠ Rational
Hence our assumption was wrong.
Then,
3√7 is a irrational no.
