I love black boards. Lately, I attended classes where the teacher used a computer screen projection and this was so bad for learning. Black boards force the teacher to teach at the same pace that he or she writes. It allows the students to take notes and ask questions.

To all the people criticizing the assumption of an irreducible fraction, it's a non-issue because the canonical form of a fraction is equal to any multiple thereof. So, even if we assumed that sqrt(2) is equal to some fraction, c/d, that isn't in lowest terms, c/d can be reduced to a/b anyway. Therefore, sqrt(2) is still equal to a/b where a and b share no common factors. This is basic part of the definition of a *rational number* that originated in ancient Greece during the time of Pythagoras in around 6 BCE. The "Pythagorean Order" believed that all numbers were perfect and divine and that any number could be expressed as a ratio two integers. Even an infinitely repeating decimal like 0.333... can be expressed as 1/3. If you couldn't calculate it down to a perfect ratio of just two integers, you just hadn't calculated enough. It was this very proof of sqrt(2) that demonstrated that there were, indeed, numbers that didn't follow this perfect structure; numbers that were irrational (cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers). And later, still, it was found that you can even go a step further. Even for irrational numbers like sqrt(2), they found that you could still describe them using an algebraic formula, using algebraic operations; exponents, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. These are now called Algebraic Irrational Numbers. But there are some that don't even obey that paradigm. Transcendental Irrational Numbers like _e_ and _pi_ won't even take an algebraic formula; the formula would keep going on and on with an infinite number of terms.

You don't even have to get that technical. By induction, if such a fraction were reducible, it would have to be infinitely reducible. This is obviously nonsense, so we still have a contradiction.

+Jeremy, no rational can be infinitely irreducible. For a/b both a and b are natural numbers and are necessarily finite (as are all the real numbers). if g = gcd(a,b) then replace the a and b with A = a/g and B = b/g -NB you have effectively claimed that g can be infinite.- Oops, I had misunderstood Jeremy.

@MuffinsAPlenty

Every rational number can be expressed in the form a/b where a and b have no common factors. You can always divide both the numerator and denominator by gcd(a,b), and you will have an equivalent fraction to the one you started with where the numerator and denominator are integers with no common factors. So while rational numbers don't _have to_ be written in reduced form, they always _can_ be. Starting with the reduced form makes the argument cleaner. Let's work through the argument with sqrt(n). Say sqrt(n) = a/b where a and b are positive integers which have no common factors. Squaring both sides and multiplying by b^2 gives us: nb^2 = a^2. Now here's where the argument breaks down for general n. Yes, a^2 is a multiple of n. However, this does not mean that a is a multiple of n. For example, let's say n = 4. It's possible for 4 to divide a square number without dividing the square root of that square number. For instance, 4 divides 36 = 6^2, but 4 does not divide 6. The argument works fine for n = 2. The argument actually works just fine for n being _prime_ since prime numbers have the property that if they divide a product of integers, they must divide at least one of the factors. But not every number has that property.

There are mistakes. sqrt(2) = a/b 2 = a^2/b^2 2*b^2 = a^2 if a^2 is a multiple of 2, that is, an odd number, and a is an intenger, then a is multiple of root of 2, which is rational like you assumed: a^2 = 2c a = sqrt(2)sqrt(c) however you can see here that a is not an odd number, since it's a multiple of root of 2, and not 2 is a an integer? 2b^2 = (sqrt(2)*sqrt(c))^2 2b^2 = (a/b *sqrt(c))^2 since 2*b^2 = a^2 then a^2 = (a/b * sqrt(c))^2 thus sqrt(c) = b so yes, a is an integer. Thus you haven't proven sqrt(2) is irrational. You cant assume a^2 is a multiple of 4 just because it is a multiple of 2. If you say an odd*odd = odd you are suddenly assuming a wrong statement without any explanation, invalidating the contradiction. Further on, if you assume 2n multiple for any multiple you can contradict Yourself with this result: say that a and b Are multiples of 2, they can't be equal each other otherwise a/b = 1, so you can still divide them by 2 until one of them has no common factor with the other, leading to a rational number that corresponds to the root of 2.

Let's go through the argument with 4 instead of 2. Suppose √4 is rational. Then √4 = a/b where a and b are integers and b is not 0. Square both sides to get 4 = a^2/b^2. Multiply both sides by b^2 to get 4b^2 = a^2 Now, the left hand side is divisible by 4. So the right hand side must also be divisible by 4. This means a^2 is divisible by 4. *Here's where things are different: we **_cannot_** conclude that a is divisible by 4 - the best we can do is conclude that a is divisible by 2* (I will explain why later) So a = 2c for some integer c. Then 4b^2 = (2c)^2 = 4c^2 Dividing both sides by 4, we get b^2 = c^2. Since b and c are both positive, we get b = c. So √4 = a/b = (2c)/b = (2b)/b = 2. And we get the actual answer instead of a contradiction. Now, why can we not conclude that a^2 is divisible by 4? Well, let's look at some examples. Suppose a = 2. Then a^2 = 4 is divisible by 4, but a = 2 is not divisible by 4. Or suppose a = 6. Then a^2 = 36 is divisible by 4, but a = 6 is not divisible by 4. So why does it work for 2 when it doesn't work in general? One way is to notice that 2 is a prime number. If n^2 is a perfect square which is divisible by a prime number p, then n must be divisible by p as well. You can see this by taking a prime factorization of n, and then squaring all of the factors to obtain a prime factorization of n^2. Since p is a prime dividing n^2, it follows that one of the prime factors in the prime factorization of n^2 is p. But the prime factors in the prime factorization of n^2 are the same (but appearing twice as many times) as the prime factors in the prime factorization of n. Therefore, p is a prime factor in the prime factorization of n. So n is divisible by p. More generally, by slightly modifying this argument, if m is a number which is not divisible by the square of any prime number and if n^2 is divisible by m, then n must also be divisible by m. So since 2 is a prime (more specifically, since 2 is not divisible by the square of any prime), we know that if 2 divides a^2, 2 must also divide a. The same thing is not true for 4 since 4 _is_ divisible by the square of a prime - namely 2.

While it is not a compulsory condition, every rational number can be expressed in the form a/b where a and b have no common factors. You can always divide both the numerator and denominator by gcd(a,b), and you will have an equivalent fraction to the one you started with where the numerator and denominator are integers with no common factors. So while rational numbers don't have to be written in reduced form, they always _can_ be.

4/6 is not that fraction in its simplest (aka irreducible) form, which you should always strive for. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2, and what do you get? 4/6 = 2/3 2 and 3 are coprime, so the fraction is now irreducible.

OK, but what if it just *_isn't always possible_* to reduce a fraction to lowest terms? I mean, I'm "pretty sure" that's always possible, but that doesn't PROVE it! I guess we have to look elsewhere for that part of the proof?

It is always possible to reduce any fraction to simpler terms, unless it's there already. And if it's there already, it doesn't need reducing, does it?

a rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction (p/q) of two integers, a numerator p and a non-zero denominator q. Since q may be equal to 1, every integer is a rational number by definition.

what about square root of 3 ? how to prove that?
@MuffinsAPlenty
@MuffinsAPlenty 6 жыл бұрын
You can prove it in the same way :) The only difference is that instead of saying "a^2 must be even so a must also be even" you say that "a^2 must be divisible by 3 so a must also be divisible by 3." Since 3 is a prime, we know this is true. You can check by taking a prime factorization of a, and then squaring each of the factors to get a prime factorization of a^2. Since 3 is a prime dividing a^2, it must be a prime factor of a^2. But the primes appearing in the prime factorization of a^2 are precisely the primes appearing in the prime factorization of a (since you squared a prime factorization of a to get a prime factorization of a^2). Therefore, 3 must be a prime factor of a. So a is divisible by 3.
