abstract algebra - Why is $n_1 sqrt{2} +n_2 sqrt{3} + n_3 sqrt{5} + n_4 sqrt{7} $ never zero?

Here $n_i$ are integral numbers, and not all of them are zero.




It is natural to conjecture that similar statement holds for even more prime numbers. Namely,



$$ n_1 \sqrt{2} +n_2 \sqrt{3} + n_3 \sqrt{5} + n_4 \sqrt{7} + n_5 \sqrt{11} +n_6 \sqrt{13} $$ is never zero too.



I am asking because this is used in some numerical algorithm in physics

How to find $\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\sin(ha)}{h}$ without lhopital rule? I know when I use lhopital I easy get $$ \lim_{h\rightarrow 0}...
