Consider the squares of 4 and 5
 
Consider the squares of 4 and 5
  
42 = 16 and 52 = 25
+
Square of 4 = 16 and Square of 5 = 25
We can also wright 4 and 5 as

Solution:
 
root 2 ~1.414 and
 
root 3 ~ 1.732
 
Rational numbers of root2 and root 3 is in between 1.4 to 1.7 like 1.45,1.5,1.55, 1.6 ........
 
 
 
3.Prove that + is an irrational number
 
Solution:
 
Let us assume on contrary that is a rational number.
 
Then there exists co-prime positive integers p and q such that
 
        =
 
    -=
 
(-)2  =  ()2
 
+2- 2.= 5
 
              =
 
p and q are integers
 
is rational
 
 
But this contradicts the fact that  is irrational. 
 
So, our assumption is wrong.
 
Hence, is irrational

Hints for difficult problems

Irrational numbers
Exercise 1.3.1

1.Write four possible irrational numbers between 4 and 5.

Solution:

Consider the squares of 4 and 5

Square of 4 = 16 and Square of 5 = 25

We can also write 4 and 5 as

√ 16 =4 and √ 25 =5

Between and there exists

√ 17 ,√ 18 , √ 19 , √ 20 , √ 21 , √ 22 , √ 23 , √ 24
