Let us assume that (452) is rational .
Subtract given number from 4, considering 4 is rational number. as we know difference of two rational numbers is rational.
4(452)is rational
52 is rational
which is only possible if 5 is rational and 2 is rational.
As we know prouduct of two rational number s rational
But the fact is 2 is an irrational.
Which is contradictory to our assumption.
Hence, 452 is irrational . hence proved.
