Answer:

4 -  \sqrt{3}

Let us assume to the contrary that root3 is rational

 \sqrt{3 =  \frac{a}{b} }

Where a and b are integers, a and b are coprimes, b is not equal to 0.

Squaring on both sides, we get

3 =  \frac{a {}^{2} }{b {}^{2} }

3b {}^{2}  = a {}^{2} \\ a {}^{2}  = 3b {}^{2} (multiple \: of \: 3)

a^2 is divisible by 3

a is also divisible by 3 (1)

Let a=3c [c is an integer]

Squaring on both sides, we get

a {}^{2}  = 9c {}^{2}  \\ 3b {}^{2}  = 9c {}^{2} (from \: 1) \\ b {}^{2}  = 3c {}^{2} (multiple \: of \: 3)

b^2 is divisible by 3

b is also divisible by 3(2)

From (1) and (2),a and b have a common factor 3 other than 1

Therefore, a and b are not coprimes

This contradiction arisen because of our wrong assumption that root3 is rational

Therefore, conclude root3 is irrational
