HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND !!!!

LET ASSUME THAT I/2 + √3 IS RATIONAL NUMBER.

1/2+√3 = a/b ( a and b are co - prime number ).

we know that 1/2 is in the form of rational number.

AND√3 IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER.

SO OUR ASSUMPTION IS WRONG.

HENCE, 1/2+√3 IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER..

prove that 1/2+√3 is irrational number

 \huge \mathbb{\purple{Answer}}

Assume that 1/2+√3 is rational

let \:  \:  \frac{1}{2}  +  \sqrt{3} \:  \: be \: rational \:  \: number \:

A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p and a are integers.

 \frac{1}{2}  +  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{p}{q}  \\  \\   \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{p}{q}  -  \frac{1}{2}  \\  \\  \sqrt{3}  =  \frac{(2p - q)}{2q}

P, q are integers so,

 \frac{(2p - q)}{2q}

Is rational number.

Then

 \sqrt{3}

Is also rational number.

But the contradicts the fact that

 \sqrt{3}

Is an irrational number

So,

Our assumption was incorrect.

Therefore,

1/2+√3 is irrational number
