Irrational number Consider ; if this is rational, then take "a" = "b" = . Otherwise, take "a" to be the irrational number and "b" = . Then "a" = () = = = 2, which is rational. Although the above argument does not decide between the two cases, the Gelfond–Schneider theorem shows that is transcendental, hence irrational. This theorem states that if "a" and "b" are both algebraic numbers, and "a" is not equal to 0 or 1, and "b" is not a rational number, then any value of "a" is a transcendental number (there can be more than one value
