Step-by-step explanation:
No. We can prove that by contradiction. Let 1/sqrt(2) be rational and
1/sqrt(2)=m/(m+n) . . . . . .(1) where m, n are non-zero integers.
inverting and squaring both sides we write
2 =(m+n)^2 /( m^2) . . . . . . .(2)
2m^2 = m^2 + n^2 +2mn . . .(3) or
m^2 - 2nm - n^2 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . .(4)
(m - n)^2 + n^2 + n^2 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . (5)
(5) can not be true since all three terms are positive integers.
hence (1) is not true and 1/sqrt(2) is not rational.
