(** First, we show the following theorem: *)
(** if p is a prime number and gcd(p,k)=1 then sqrt(p*k) is not rational *)
(** Then, we strengthen the result to the n-th root of p^r*k *)
(** where 0 < r < n obtaining the theorem: *)
(**  if p is a prime number, gcd(p,k)=1 and 0 < r < n then the n-th root of p^r*k is not rational *)

(** now, we show the result claimed in the header *)
