Specifically, the Greeks discovered that the diagonal of a square whose sides are 1 unit long has a diagonal whose length cannot be rational. By the Pythagorean Theorem, the length of the diagonal equals the square root of 2. So the square root of 2 is irrational!

Euclid proved that √2 (the square root of 2) is an irrational number.

Rational. The square root of 4 is 2, which is an integer (number without decimals). A number is only irrational if it has endless decimals after it.

°•Therefore ,2-3√5 can be written in the form of a/b. where a and b are co-prime numbers. Where -√5 is an irrational number and a-2b/3 is a rational number. Hence √5 is irrational.

The square root of 2 or root 2 is represented using the square root symbol √ written as √2 whose value is 1.414. This value is widely used in mathematics. Root 2 is an irrational number as it cannot be expressed as a fraction and has an infinite number of decimals.

Because √2 is not an integer (2 is not a perfect square), √2 must therefore be irrational. This proof can be generalized to show that any square root of any natural number that is not the square of a natural number is irrational.

This can also be proved by the method of contradiction. ie , √3 is rational , which is a contradiction to the fact that √3 is irrational. This contradiction arises due to the fact the wrong assumption that 7 + 2√3 is rational. Hence it is proved that 7 + 2√3 is irrational.

Answer Expert Verified Since , a,b are integers , is rational, and so √3 is rational. This contradicts the fact √3 is irrational. Hence, √2+√3 is irrational.

But this contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number. So,our supposition is false. Therefore,2+√3 is an irrational number. Hence proved.

Yes, because '2' is the quotient of 2 π, which actually means 2 × π, and π is an irrational number. Then 2π is indeed an irrational number. 2pi is as irrationall as pi.

As very one knows rational no. into irrational no. results to an irrational no. ... therefore our supposition is wrong hence √2 is irrrational no ......and as a result 5√2 is an irrational no.

Now if we have an irrational number x that cannot be written as the square root of a rational number, then x² is irrational. ... Now if we have an irrational number x that cannot be written as the square root of a rational number, then x² is irrational.

Pi is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a ratio (fraction) of two integers: it has no exact decimal equivalent, although 3.1415926 is good enough for many applications. The square root of 2 is another irrational number that cannot be written as a fraction.

The quotient of two irrational number is not always irrational. For instance, the square root of 2 is irrational. Note: Fighting the battle against misinformation. Pi is irrational.

Sal proves that the square root of any prime number must be an irrational number. For example, because of this proof we can quickly determine that √3, √5, √7, or √11 are irrational numbers.

As 5 + 3√2 is rational. (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.
