show that (4plus3√2) is irrational
Answers
Answer:
Let 4+3√2
be a rational number.
Then both 4+3√2 and 4 are rational.
⇒ 4+3√2 – 4 = 3√2 = rational
[∵Difference of two rational numbers is rational] ⇒ 3√2 is rational.
⇒ 1/3 3√2 is rational.
[∵ Product of two rational numbers is rational] ⇒ √2 is rational.
This contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational when 2 is prime √2 is irrational
Hence 4 + 3√2 is irrational.

[∵Difference of two rational numbers is rational]
⇒ 3√2 is rational. ⇒ 1/3 3√2 is rational.[∵ Product of two rational numbers is rational]
⇒ √2 is rational.
This contradicts the fact that √2 is
irrational when 2 is prime √2 is irrational Hence 4 + 3√2 is irrational.
