Last week, Jennet use English to wrote a mass essay, today, I want to challenge writing a math essay.

We all know that root 2 is an irrational number, but, can we prove it? This is what I am going to write about.

First, we need to know what is a rational number. Rational number is a number formed by whole numbers or fractions. So if we wants to prove root 2 is not a rational number, we just have to prove that root 2 is not whole number or fraction.

We know that root 2 is not a whole number, because  square of toot 2, which is 2, is greater that 1 square, but smaller than square 2. so root 2 is suppose to be between 1 and 2, and there is no whole number between 1 and 2.So know, we just has to prove root 2 is not a fraction, but this is much more interesting. 

In proving this, we have proof by contradiction. It means, if I want to prove that root 2 was not a fraction, we just have to set that root 2 is a fraction, and go on reasoning, and see if we can find a contraction to something we had prove was real or premise. So what is our premise? Is about fraction, about what is a fraction.

If we set root 2 was a fraction, then root 2 can be written as\frac{b}{a} . A and B must be whole numbers, and has to be relatively prime, and, A is not 1. Now, we start roving. 

If root 2 is  \frac{b}{a} ,

then 2=(\frac{b}{a} )^2

2=\frac{b^2}{a^2}

2a^2=b^2

We don't need to know whether a^2 is an even number, but we knew that 2 multiplies any non 0 whole number equals an even number. So we can say that 2a^2 is an even number, and so b^2 will be a even number.

And because we knew only even number who multiplies even number can equals an even number. So we can conclude that because b^2 is an even number,b will also be an even number.

Continue

2a^2=b^2

a^2=b^2\div 2

We knew that b is an even number, and even numbers had at least one factor 2 in it. So b can be written as (2\times m), (m is a non 0 whole number.) So b^2 is (2\times m)^2, that is 4m^2. So b^2\div 2=4m^2\div 2=2m^2

We can get that a^2=2m^2. We don't need to know weather m^2 is an even number, we just needs to know 2m^2 is a even number, becausem^2 was multiplied by 2.

So we can get that a^2 is also an even number, which means a is an even number.

But what is the use of knowing a and b are both even numbers? We set that a fraction has to be relatively prime, but if a and b are even numbers, they can be divided by 2, so the fraction is not relatively primed. 

We set up root 2 as a fraction, but we made a contradiction. So root 2 is not a fraction, and since root 2 is also not a whole number, we can get that root 2 is not a rational number.
