Prove that 3+2
Let us assume to the contrary, that
3+2
is irrational.
So that we can find integers a and b (b ≠ 0).
Such that 3+2
= a/b, where a and b are coprime.
Rearranging the equations, we get
![]()
![]()
![]()
Since a and b are integers, we get
is rational and so
is irrational.
So, we conclude that 3+2
is irrational.
