Answer:
√2 is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there !
Lets assume that √2 is rational.
let ,
√2 = p/q , where p and q are integers , q ≠ 0 , and " p and q are co prime "
squaring both the sides ;
2 = p²/q²
2q² = p²
here ,
2 dividies p².
so , 2 divides p -------> [1 ]
p = 2m
2q² = p²
2q² = [2m]²
2q² = 4m²
q² = 2m
here ,
2 divides q².
so ,
2 divides q ----> [2]
from [1] and [2] its clear that 2 is a common factor of p and q .
this contradicts our assumption that p and q are co prime .
hence ,
our assumption was wrong .
∴ √2 is irrational
