Show that the following
numbers are irrational.
`1/(sqrt(2))`
(ii) `7sqrt(5)`
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
Irrational numbers are the subset of real numbers that cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction, p/q where p and q are integers. The denominator q is not equal to zero `(q ≠ 0)`.
(i) `1/(sqrt2)`
Let us assume that `1/(sqrt2)` is a rational number.
