Hello student,
Please find the answer to your question below
Given a is a rational number
so it can be expressed as p/q where p,q are some integers and q>0
as n>1 and is a positive integer if n=2 then
a2=(p/q)2=(p*p)/(q*q)=rational (since product of two rational numbers is rational and also p/q is rational) similarly for n=3,4,......N by the principle of mathematical induction anis rational for all n>1 and n=postive integer
