Answer:
2√3-√5
Step-by-step explanation:
=Assume that 2√3-√5 is a rational number
=2√3-√5=p/q
=(2√3-√5)^=(p/q) ^
=(2√3)^-(√5)^=p^/q^
=2•3-5=p^/q^
=6-5=p^/q^
=1=p^/q^
Transfer p^ from rhs to Lhs
P^=1q^----------{1}
1 divides p^
P^ divides 1
From 1
1q^=1k^
Q^=1k^----------{2}
So, q divides 1
From 1 and 2
Our assumption wrong
Its a contradiction
2√3-√5 is a irrational number
