Perfect square??
Asked by sonali221994 | 12th Dec, 2009, 04:40: PM
4n+2=2(2n+1)
when n is a natural number, 2n+1 has to be an odd number and 4n+2 has to be an even number
the prime factors of 4n+2
are 2 and the prime factors of 2n+1
since 2n+1 is an odd number, all its factors will be odd numbers
so
when you take the square root of the given number,,whether the odd number is a perfect square or not , 2 will be having irrational square root which makes the square root of the given number as an irrational number and not a real number.
