I was thinkin of one of the questions KingGeorge asked and accidently i got a nice problem... Show that \(\sqrt{n+\sqrt{n+1}}\) is irrational for any given positive integer \(n\).

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

what about 1 or 0

OpenStudy (ksaimouli):

for n value

OpenStudy (experimentx):

* for n>0 the expression is not a perfect square will suffice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if n is any positive integer except perfect square numbers than (n)^(1/2) is always irrational ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The statement is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, I think the solution is no further

Now, for|dw:1345728218436:dw| to be a rational number, |dw:1345728245635:dw| also must be a rational number. Now, |dw:1345728245635:dw| is a rational number if |dw:1345728295815:dw| where x is positive integer. Now, |dw:1345728324453:dw|. Now,|dw:1345728469507:dw|...........Thus,|dw:1345728545618:dw| is a irrational number.
