Elementary Proof on Perfect Squares.

40 Views Asked by At

The Proof I'm working on is: If $r \in \mathbb{N}$ is not a perfect square, then $\sqrt{r}$ is irrational.\

The farthest I've gotten is by proving by contradiction, assuming that $\sqrt{r}$ is rational. Could anyone let me know if I'm on the right track or give me a bit of a hand. It would be greatly appreciated.
