Answer:
Thank you too mate! Here's your answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 3 + 2√3 = a/b, where a and b are co-prime.
(3 + 2√3)² = a²/b²
3² + 2(2√3)(3) + (2√3)² = a²/b²
9 + 12√3 + 12 = a²/b²
12√3 = (a²/b² - 21)
√3 = (a²/b² - 21) / 12.
Observe that we have an irrational number (Given) on the LHS and a rational number in the RHS.
But an irrational number can never be equal to a rational number.
So our assumption was wrong.
Hence it's proved that 3 + 2√3 is an irrational number.
