    irrational, terminating decimal

    Brief Learning Points (Objectives) : Able to prove √2, √3 are irrational, terminating decimal.
    (PART-A) Main Points of Teacher's Teaching with Examples (where ever required) :-

    PROVING √p is IRRATIONAL.

    * Let p be a prime number and 'a' be a positive integer. If p divides a² , then p divides a.

    * Coprime : coprime numbers are those numbers which doesn't have any common factor.ex.5 & 6 are
    coprime, 15,19 are coprime.

    * Addition, subtraction , multiplication & division of a Rational & an Irrational number , is always
    irrational.

    *Question 1 : Prove that √2 is Irrational

    *Solution : Let us assume that √2 is rational

    So √2 = a / b , where a & b are coprime & b#0 i.e.they do not have any common factor

    2= a² / b². (Squaring both sides)

    So, 2b² = a². ...eq (1)

    So, 2 divides a²

    So, 2 divides a. .....eq (2)

    So, Let , a = 2 c for some integer c ,(because 2 is a multiple of a)

    Putting this a in equation (1)

    2 b² = 4 c²

    b² = 4/2 c²

    b² = 2 c²

    This shows that 2 divides b²

    This implies that 2 divides b. .....eq (3)

    From equation 2 & 3.

    2 is a common factor of a & b


    This contradicts our assumption that 'a' and 'b' are coprime.

    So our assumption is wrong that √2 is rational.

    So √2 is irrational.

    Hence Proved.

    Question 2 : Prove that 3 + 2√5 is irrational.

    Solution : Let us assume that 3 + 2 √5 is rational, then there exist coprime integers a& b such that.
    3 + 2√5 = a / b

    2√5 = a/b - 3

    √5 = ( a - 3b) / 2b

    a, b are integers so R.H.S is a rational

    It shows that √5 is rational

    This contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational. So , our assumption is incorrect. Hence, 3 + 2√5 is an
    irrational number.

    * Let x be a rational number whose decimal expansion terminates. Then x can be expressed in the
    form of p/q , where p and q are co primes, and the prime factorization of q is of the form 2^m * 5 ^n ,
    (^ means power, read it as power) where m ,n are non negative integers.

    *First write the rational number in smallest form, cancel the common factors in numerator and
    denominator. Then do the prime factorization of denominator. If it has only 2 and 5 as its factors,
    then it terminates ,if other numbers are also there in the factors of denominator then it does not
    terminate. It will terminate after that many places as it has 2s or 5s whichever is greater.

    Example : 189/ 5³ : It will terminate after 3 places of decimal

    * Let x = p / q is a rational number ,such that the prime factorization of q is of the form 2 power m x 5
    power n where m, n are non-negative integers. Then, x has a terminating decimal expansion which
    terminates after k places of decimals, where k is the larger of m or n.
