Prove that root 2 + 1 is a irrational number​

Answer»

let we assume that root 2 +1 is rational therefore there exist a unique pair of INTEGER a and b such that..

\sqrt{2 }   + 1 = a \div b

\sqrt{2}  = a - b  \div b

here a-b/b is a rational number but root 2 is IRRATIONAL a rational CANT be an irrational

therefore this contradiction arrises DUE to our wrong assumption that root2 -1 is rational is false hence it is an irrational...

if u understood the answer MARK me as brainlist
