Prove √n-1+√n+1 is rational number and prove also prove√3+√7 as irrational
Let √n−1+√n+1 be a rational number which can be expressed as p/q, p and q are integers and coprime. q is not equal to 0squaring on both sides we get n-1+n+1+2 √n2−12n+2 √n2−1 =p2q22(n+√n2−1)=p2q22(n+√n2−1)q2=p2this mean 2 divides p2 and also divides p.then let p=2k for any integer kthen 2(n+√n2−1)=(2k)2q22(n+√n2−1)=4k2q2q2=2k2/(n+√n2−1)so 2 divides q2 and also qp and q have common factors 2 which contradicts the fact that p and q are co-primes which is due to our wrong assumption. so √n−1+√n+1 is irrational.
