5 = rational no.
3 = rational no.
root 2 = 1.414 (irrarional no.)
therefore,by combining
we found that it is a irrational no.

\huge\mathcal\pink{Rational\: number:}

=> The numbers which can be expressed in the form of \dfrac{p}{q} where " p " and " q " are integers and q ≠ 0

It is represented by " Q "

\huge\mathcal\pink{Irrational\: number:}

=> The numbers which can't be expressed in the form of \dfrac{p}{q} where " p " and " q " are integers and q ≠ 0

It is represented by " S "

\huge\mathcal\pink{Solution :}

Let us assume, to contrary that 5+ 3√2 is a rational number.

\implies 5 + 3√2 = \dfrac{p}{q}

Where p & q are co-primes i.e H. C. F (p, q) = 1 and q ≠ 0

Now, \dfrac{p}{q} - 5 = 3√2

\implies \dfrac{p - 5q}{q} = 3√2

\implies \dfrac{p - 5q}{3q} = √2

Here, \dfrac{p - 5q}{3q} is rational.

But the fact is √2 is irrational.

Rational ≠ irrational

∴ Our assumption is wrong

Hence, 5 + 3√ 2 is irrational
