In the proof of (\sqrt{3}), which wrong conclusion should not be taken directly from (a^2=3b^2)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a=3b)
Step 1: From (a^2=3b^2), (a^2) is divisible by (3). Step 2: Then (a) is divisible by (3), so (a=3k). Step 3: Directly writing (a=3b) from the equation is wrong.
