To prve root 5 is irrational.
Proof:
Suppose space square root of 5 space is space rational rightwards double arrow square root of 5 equals straight p over straight q comma space where space straight p comma space straight q space are space coprime space integers space and space straight q not equal to 0 rightwards double arrow square root of 5 straight q equals straight p rightwards double arrow 5 straight q squared equals straight p squared rightwards double arrow straight q squared equals straight p squared over 5 rightwards double arrow space 5 space divides space straight p squared rightwards double arrow space 5 space divides space straight p rightwards double arrow straight p over 5 equals straight r rightwards double arrow straight p squared equals 25 straight r squared rightwards double arrow 5 straight q squared equals 25 straight r squared rightwards double arrow straight q squared equals 5 straight r squared rightwards double arrow straight r squared equals straight q squared over 5 rightwards double arrow space 5 space divides space straight q squared rightwards double arrow space 5 space divides space straight q So comma space straight p space and space straight q space have space straight a space common space factor space 5. But space this space is space straight a space contradiction. Hence comma space square root of 5 space is space irrational
