Step-by-step explanation:
square root of p will p power 1/2
and square root of will be q power 1/2.
as we know that a number then only a rational number when it can be written in the form of p/q
p and q are prime numbers.
let p and q be 3 and 5.
so, the given number= √3 + √5.
If possible let √3 be rational number.
we know that the rational number is always in form of p/q where q is not eqaul to zero.
so, √3 = p
q
squaring both sides
=) 3 = p2
q2
=)p2=3q2
so, clearly
3q2 is divided by 3.
and, p2 is divided by 3. [p2=3q2]
also, p is divided by 3.
let p be 3x.
so, (3x)2 = 3q2
=)9x2 = 3q2
=) 9x2 = q2
3
=) 3x2 = q2
so, clearly
3x2 is divided by 3.
and, q2 is divided by 3. [q2 = 3x2]
also, q is divided by 3.
then, p and q having a common factor is 3.
but, p and q having a common factor is 1.
thus, our supoosion is condradicts.
Hence, √3 is an irrational number .
we know that tha sum of irrational number and with any number always gives a irrational number .
so, √p+√q is an irrational number.
