25. Prove that the following are irrational:

(iii)    6 plus square root of 2


Let us assume to the contrary, that square root of 2 is rational.

Then,    6 plus square root of 2 is rational.

So, we can find coprime integers a and b (≠ 0) such that

space space space space space space space space 6 plus square root of 2 equals straight a over straight b
rightwards double arrow space space space space 6 minus straight a over straight b equals square root of 2

Since, a and b are integers, we get straight a over straight b is rational and so, 6 minus straight a over straight b is rational and so, square root of 2 is rational.

But this contradicts the fact that square root of 2  is irrational.

So, we conclude that  6 plus square root of 2 is irrational.
