1 thought on “prove that 3+ 5 root2 is an irrational number, given that root 2 is an irrational number.”
Answer:
(Assumed) They must be in the form of p/q where q≠0, and p & q are co prime. … And, Rational ≠ Irrational. Therefore we contradict the statement that, 5+3√2 is rational. Hence proved that 5 + 3√2 is irrational.
