Step-by-step explanation:
2+5√3 we assume that it is rational number
p and q are coprimes.q not equal to 0.
1. 2+5√3=p/q
2.5√3=p/q-2
3(5√3)=(p/q-2)
4.5√3=p-2q/q
5.√3=p-2q/5q
√3 is an irrational number.L.H.S IS AN IRRATIONAL.R.H.S IS AN RATIONAL
IRRATIONAL=RATIONAL IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.SO,OUR ASSUMPTION IS WRONG.IT IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER
