To prove: 2√3 - 5 is irrational
Suppose 2√3 - 5 is rational
rightwards double arrow 2 square root of 3 minus 5 equals straight p over straight q rightwards double arrow 2 square root of 3 equals straight p over straight q plus 5 rightwards double arrow square root of 3 equals fraction numerator begin display style straight p over straight q end style plus 5 over denominator 2 end fraction Addition space of space two space rational space numbers space is space straight a space rational space number rightwards double arrow straight p over straight q plus 5 space is space rational rightwards double arrow fraction numerator straight p over straight q plus 5 over denominator 2 end fraction space is space rational rightwards double arrow square root of 3 space is space rational Which space is space straight a space contradiction. Hence comma space 2 square root of 3 minus 5 space is space an space irrational space number.
