Hi Peekaboo

Not many people here from Oregon. I live in the Southern Cascades between the Rogue Valley and Klamath;)
 
Portland area here

Female/56...just outside Portland area....new to this website, registered and have no idea how it all works. Once I figure it all out, hopefully I will be able to feel comfortable posting information and messages.

Here's an interesting proof that the sqrt(3) isn't a rational number.

Assume that we can express sqrt(3) = p/q, for some p,q in Z (The field of integers), with q not equal to 0. Further, we ensure that p and q have no common factors. This is really no problem, because if p and q both have some common factor, say r, then we can just divide p and q by r. We can continue to do this until we have removed all common factors.

sqrt(3) = p/q
3 = p^2/q^2
3*q^2 = p^2

This implies that p^2 has 3 as a factor (p^2 = 3*q^2).

Any integer can be expressed as the product of prime numbers raised to powers, so multiplying an integer by itself has the result of multiplying each prime factor by itself. For example,
15 = 3*5, so 15^2 = 3^2*5^2 = 225. The important point is that no new primes are introduced when we square an integer.

Therefore, since p^2 has 3 as a factor, p must also have 3 as a factor, since 3 is a prime number. Thus we can write p = 3*k, for some k in Z.

Given our new expression for p, we can rewrite our original equation, sqrt(3) = p/q, as sqrt(3) = (3* k)/q

3 = 9k^2/q^2
3 * q^2 = 9k^2
q^2 = 3k^2

So we find that q^2 has 3 a factor, which, using the preceding argument, implies that q also has 3 as a factor. Therefore, both p and q are evenly divisible by 3, but we made sure at the start that p and q had no common factors. Thus, we have a contradiction, so it must be that our initial assumption that sqrt(3) = p/q for some p,q in Z was incorrect.

As you might have noticed, it's possible to use a logically equivalent proof for all prime numbers.


Pretty sexy, eh?
