Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so, assume that 2+3root 5 is rational.
2+3root5=p/q,where p and q are coprimes and q not equals to 0.
3root 5=p/q-2.
root 5=p/q-2/3.
A rational number never equals to an irrational number.
We assume that p and q are coprimes and q not equals to 0.
so, our assumption is wrong.
2+3root 5 is an irrational number.

Assume 2-3√5 be a rational no
therefore 2-3√5=a/b
hence √5=a-2b/3b
therefore a-2b/3b is a rational no
therefore √5 is a rational no
but we know that √5 is a irrational no
therefore our assumption was wrong that 2-3√5 is a rational no
therefore 2-3√5 is a irrational no
