Answer:
to solve this problem follow these steps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: √5
We need to prove that √5 is irrational
Proof:
Let us assume that √5 is a rational number.
Sp it t can be expressed in the form p/q where p,q are co-prime integers and q≠0
⇒√5=p/q
On squaring both the sides we get,
⇒5=p²/q²
⇒5q²=p² —————–(i)
p²/5= q²
So 5 divides p
p is a multiple of 5
⇒p=5m
⇒p²=25m² ————-(ii)
From equations (i) and (ii), we get,
5q²=25m²
⇒q²=5m²
⇒q² is a multiple of 5
⇒q is a multiple of 5
Hence, p,q have a common factor 5. This contradicts our assumption that they are co-primes. Therefore, p/q is not a rational number
√5 is an irrational number
Hence proved.
and 2✓5
Given: √2+√5
We need to prove√2+√5 is an irrational number.
Proof
Let us assume that √2+√5 is a rational number.
A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p,q are integers and q≠0
√2+√5 = p/q
On squaring both sides we get,
(√2+√5)² = (p/q)²
√2²+√5²+2(√5)(√2) = p²/q²
2+5+2√10 = p²/q²
7+2√10 = p²/q²
2√10 = p²/q² – 7
√10 = (p²-7q²)/2q
p,q are integers then (p²-7q²)/2q is a rational number.
Then √10 is also a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that √10 is an irrational number.
Our assumption is incorrect
√2+√5 is an irrational number.
Hence proved.
