Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{5}$

is irrational because when we place it in decimal form it is both non- terminating and non- repeating

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we want to prove that a math statement is true. Simply put, we assume that the math statement is false and then show that this will lead to a contradiction.

If it leads to a contradiction, then the statement must be true

To show that √5 is an irrational number, we will assume that it is rational

Then, we need to find a contradiction when we make this assumption

If we are going to assume that √5 is rational, then we need to understand what it means for a number to be rational

Basically, if square root of 5 is rational, it can be written as the ratio of two numbers as shown below:

Square both sides of the equation above

5 =

x2

y2

Multiply both sides by y2

5 × y2 =

x2

y2

× y2

We get 5 × y2 = x2
