Show that 3√2 is not a irrational
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 3 months ago

Let us assume, to the contrary, that 3 √ 2​ is 

rational. Then, there exist co-prime positive integers a and b such that

3 √ 2​= a/b

⇒  √ 2 ​= a/3b 

⇒  √ 2​ is rational       ...[∵3,a and b are integers∴ 1/3b ​is a rational number]

This contradicts the fact that  √ 2​ is irrational. 

So, our assumption is not correct.

Hence, 3 √ 2​ is an irrational number.
