Answer:
This proof can be done by contradiction.
Let us assume that 2 - √2 is rational number.
So, by the definition of rational number, we can write it as
where a & b are any integer.
⇒
Since, a and b are integers is also rational.
and therefore √2 is rational number.
This contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational number.
Hence our assumption that 2 - √2 is rational number is false.
Therefore, 2 - √2 is irrational number.
