Answer:
Irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
To prove:
Let us assume on the contrary that 5√6-√7 is a rational number. Then there exist co-prime integers a and b such that
5√6-√7=a/b
or a/b+√7=5√6
and by squaring the equation
i. e. (a/b+√7)^2=(√5)^2
or a^2/b^2+2a.√7/b+7=150
a^2/b^2-143=-2a√7/b
or (a^2-143b^2)/-2ab=√7
Since, a, b are integers and
(a^2-143b^2)/-2ab is a rational no.
√7 is also rational
This contradicts the fact that √2 is an irrational.so our assumption is wrong
Hence 5√6-√7is irrational.
