Prove that root6+root5 is irrational Share with your friends Share 3 Gursheen Kaur answered this Dear Student, Solution) Lets assume √6 + √5 is a rational number. √6 + √5 = pq Then ther exists co-prime positive integers p and q such that6+5=pq⇒pq-5=6squaring both sides, we get,⇒pq-52=62⇒p2q2+5-25pq=6⇒p2q2+5-6=25pq⇒p2q2-1=25pq⇒p2-q2q2×q2p=5⇒p2-q22qp=5⇒5 is a rational number. {because pq are integers and p2-q22qp is rational}this contradicts the fact 5is irrational.So, our assumption is incorrect. thus, 6 +5 is a irrational.Regards! 5 View Full Answer
