Part a· 4 steps
Prove that is irrational.
Assume, for the sake of contradiction, that is a rational number.
If is rational, then it can be written in the form , where and are coprime integers and .
Rearrange the equation to isolate .
Since and are integers and , is a rational number.
Identify the contradiction.
This implies that is a rational number. However, it is a known fact that is irrational. This contradicts our initial assumption.
Conclude the proof.
Therefore, our assumption that is rational must be false.
Hence,
