1)write root(3)-1 in another way,and use this to produce a non-trivial equation for root(3) in terms of itself
2)suppose m,n(m,n is natural numbers) are such that m/n=root(3),use (1) to write root(3)as another combination of m and n.
3)use (2) to show that root(3) in not rational.
Any hints appreciated..
