Prove that 5-root 3is irritational number
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 11 months ago

Let us assume that 5 - √3 is rational. Then it can be written in the form

5 - √3 = p/q

or 5 - p/q = √3

It implies root3 is a rational number [Since 5 - p/q are rationals]

But this contradicts to the fact that √3 is irrational. Hence our supposition was wrong. Therefore 5 - √3 is irrational.
