Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Assume that 3+2  

5

​  

 is rational. Then,

3+2  

5

​  

=  

b

a

​  

 

5

​  

=  

2b

a−3b

​  

 

This gives that  

2b

a−3b

​  

 is rational but  

5

​  

 is an irrational number, therefore, the assumption is wrong.

Hence, 3+2  

5

​  

 is irrational.
