The difference of two irrational number is NOT always irrational. Let’s see with example
Example one:
Lets have x and y as irrational numbers
Not to Check : x−y is rational or irrational.
Let x = √2 and y = √2 both are irrational
Now let’s calculate x- y
x-y=√2-√2=0
and 0 is rational.
Another Example
(4+√2) and (2+√2) are irrational numbers
Lets substract them
(4+√2) – (2+√2) = ?
= 4–2 +√2–√2
=2 {which is rational}
So this proves that difference of two irrational numbers are not always an irrational number
so for the question
The difference of two irrational number is —————- always irrational.
Answer is FALSE
