Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let v3+v5 be a rational number. A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p,q are integers.
V3+v5 = p/q V3 = p/q-v5
Squaring on both sides,
(V3)? = (p/q-15)
3 = p/q²+v5?-2(p/q)(v5) %D
V5x2p/q = p?/q?+5-3 v5 = (p?+2q?)/q² × q/2p
V5 = (p?+2q?)/2pq
p,q are integers then (p2+2q/2pq is a Then v5 is also a rational number.
rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that v5 is an
irrational number.
So,our supposition is false.
Therefore, v3+v5 is an irrational number.
