Step-by-step explanation:
Let assume that (3+√5) is rational number
Now,
3+√5=a/b
[Here a and b are co prime number,where b is not equal to 0]
√5=a/b-3
√5=(a-3b)/b
Here, (a-3b)/b is a rational number
But we know that √5 is irrational number.
So, (a-3b) /b is also irrational number
Hence, it is contraction to assumption.
Thus, 3+√5 is an irrational number
