Prove that √5 is a irrational no.​

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume ROOT 5 is rational ...

rand rational number cn be PRESENT in p/q form

so

ROOT5=p/q

squaring both side

root5^2=p^2/q^2

5=p^2/q^2

p^2in factor of 5

q^2is factor of 5

then

5=ak(any constant)

squaring

5^2=a^2k^

25=a^2k^2

25 is factor of a

25 is factor of k

hence our assumption was wrong root5 is irrational
