1). Give formal proof to show that the argument given is valid
P => (q v r) , ¬r , p l- q
1. P is true ……………………………………………………………………….primes(1)
2. P => (q v r) true………………………………………………………….. primes(2)
3. q v r is true ………………………………………………………………. Modes ponens using (1) and (2)
4. ¬r is true …………………………………………………………………………………………primes(4)
5. q is true ………………………………………………………………….modes tollened ponens using (3) and (4).

Soiution
Let us assume that ¿ ¿ is a irrational number
p
Thus ,¿ ¿ can be represnted in the form of q where p and q are integers ,q ≠ 0, p and q
are co-prime number.
3−4 √ 2 p
=
7 q
7p
= 3 - 4√ 2= q
7p
= 4√ 2 =3- q
3 q−7 p
=4√ 2 = q
3 q−7 p
=√ 2= 4 q
3 q−7 p
Since , 4 q is rational =√ 2 is rational
But ,it is given that √ 2 is an irrational number .
There fore , our assumption is wrong .
3−4 √ 2
Hence , is an irrational number .
