The proof is by the method of reductio ad absurdum. We start by assuming that sqrt(30) is rational. That means that it can be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are co-prime integers. Thus sqrt(30) = p/q. This can be simplified to 30*q^2 = p^2 Now 2 divides the left hand side (LHS) so it must divide the right hand side (RHS). That is, 2 must divide p^2 and since 2 is a prime, 2 must divide p. That is p = 2*r for some integer r. Then substituting for p gives, 30*q^2 = (2*r)^2 = 4*r^2 Dividing both sides by 2 gives 15*q^2 = 2*r^2. But now 2 divides the RHS so it must divide the LHS. That is, 2 must divide 15*q^2. Since 2 does not divide 15, 2 must divide q^2 and then, since 2 is a prime, 2 must divide q. But then we have 2 dividing p as well as q which contradicts the requirement that p and q are co-prime. The contradiction implies that sqrt(30) cannot be rational.
It is known that the square root of an integer is either an integer or irrational. If we square root2 root3 we get 6. The square root of 6 is irrational. Therefore, root2 root3 is irrational.
Yes. The square root of a positive integer can ONLY be either:* An integer (in this case, it isn't), OR * An irrational number. The proof is basically the same as the proof used in high school algebra, to prove that the square root of 2 is irrational.
Square root of 10 is irrational.
irrational square root of 121 = 11 square root of 1.21 = 1.1 square root of 12.1 = 3.47...
[ square root of (4.1) ] is irrational. But [ square root of (4) ] is rational.
This is impossible to prove, as the square root of 2 is irrational.
No. The square root of thirty-six is positive or negative six.
The square root of 2 is 1.141..... is an irrational number
Because 3 is a prime number and as such its square root is irrational
Irrational
It is known that the square root of an integer is either an integer or irrational. If we square root2 root3 we get 6. The square root of 6 is irrational. Therefore, root2 root3 is irrational.
No; you can prove the square root of any positive number that's not a perfect square is irrational, using a similar method to showing the square root of 2 is irrational.
Yes. The square root of a positive integer can ONLY be either:* An integer (in this case, it isn't), OR * An irrational number. The proof is basically the same as the proof used in high school algebra, to prove that the square root of 2 is irrational.
The square root of 94 is an irrational number
The square root of 200 is irrational.
irrational
The square root of 11 is irrational. An irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction or ratio of two integers. In the case of the square root of 11, it is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal and cannot be simplified further. Therefore, it falls under the category of irrational numbers.
