prove that 11+ 2√3 is irrational with full explanation

Prove that 11 + 2√3 is irrational.
We know that,
We cannot convert √3 in the form p/q.
So, 2√3 is irrational.
And, we also know that,
Rational + Irrational = Irrational
So, we can say that 11+ 2√3 is irrational.

Answer:
its simple
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume to the contrary that √3 is a rational number.
It can be expressed in the form of p/q
where p and q are co-primes and q≠ 0.
⇒ √3 = p/q
⇒ 3 = p2/q2 (Squaring on both the sides)
⇒ 3q2 = p2………………………………..(1)
This means that 3 divides p2. This means that 3 divides p because each factor should appear two times for the square to exist.
So we have p = 3r
⇒ p2 = 9r2………………………………..(2)
from equation (1) and (2)
⇒ 3q2 = 9r2
⇒ q2 = 3r2
Where q2 is multiply of 3 and also q is multiple of 3.
so is irrational no so
2 is also an irrational no because rational * irrational is irrational so
11 + 2 is also irrational ( rational + irrational = irrational)
hence proved
hope it helps
