Answer:
answer √5 is irrational number but a/2b- 3b is rational
Step-by-step explanation:
- let us assume that 3+2 √5 is irrational number
- 3+2√5 ( where and b are the integers
- 2√5=a\b-3
- 2√ 5 =a/ b - 3b
- √5= a/2b-3b
- hence √5 is irrational number but a/ 2b- 3b is rational number
- our assumption is wrong √5 is irrational but a/2b-3b is rational

Answer:
Let 3+ 2√5 be rational number.
We know that rational number is in the p/q form , where p and q are integer .
p/ q = 3 +2√5
p/q -3 = 2√5
p -3q/q = 2√5
p- 3q /2q = √5
:.p-3q/2q is in p/q form so, it is rational
number but we know that √ 5 is an irrational number.
:. My contradiction is wrong.
Hence, 3+2√5 is an irrational number.
