Examine, whether the following number are rational or irrational:
`2+sqrt3`
उत्तर
Let `x=2+sqrt3` be the rational
squaring on both sides
`rArrx^2=(2+sqer3)^2`
`rArrx^2=4+3+4sqrt3`
`rArrx^2=7+4sqrt3`
`rArrx^2-7=4sqrt3`
`rArr(x^2-7)/4=sqrt3`
Since, x is rational
⇒ x2 is rational
⇒ x2 - 7 is rational
`rArr(x^2-7)/4` is rational
`rArr sqrt3` is rational
But, `sqrt3` is irrational
So, we arrive at a contradiction.
Hence, `2+sqrt3` is an irrational number.

Classroom activity (Constructing the ‘square root spiral’): Take a large sheet of paper and construct the ‘square root spiral’ in the following fashion. Start with a point O and draw a line segment OP1 of unit length. Draw a line segment P1 P2 perpendicular to OP1 of unit length. Now draw a line segment P2 P3 perpendicular to OP2. Then draw a line segment P3 P4 perpendicular to OP3. Continuing in this manner, you can get the line segment Pn–1Pn by drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to OPn–1. In this manner, you will have created the points P2, P3,...., Pn,.... ., and joined them to create a beautiful spiral depicting `sqrt2, sqrt3, sqrt4,` ...
