Prove that the Square Root of 2
is an irrational number.
Discussion: That is, prove that this number can not be expressed as a rational fraction in lowest terms,
where the greatest common divisor of a and b is 1.
irrational.
Use the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean Inequality to develope an process for computing square roots of positive numbers.
