Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let us assume √5+√7 is an rational number
√5+√7=p/q,q≠0;p,q∈z
√5+√7=p/q
√5=p/q-√7
squaring on both sides
√5²=p²/q²+√7²-2p√7
5= p²/q²+7-2p√7
2p√7=p²/q²+7-5
2p√7=p²/q²+2
2p√7=p²+2q/q²
√7=p²+2q/2pq
√7 is an irrational number
p²+2q/2pq is an rational number
Hence proved
