Question

(5/4+-1/2)+-3/2=5/4+(-1/-2+-3/2)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

To prove that √2 is an irrational number, we will use the contradiction method. ⇒ p2 is an even number that divides q2. Therefore, p is an even number that divides q. ... This leads to the contradiction that root 2 is a rational number in the form of p/q with p and q both co-prime numbers and q ≠ 0.
