Step-by-step explanation:
supose √2+√7 is not an irrational number
=√2+√7 is a rational number
= √2+√7 =p/q ------------ 1
=√2= p/q - √7 ---------- 2
( squaring on both sides)
= (√2)^2= (p/q - √7)^2
= 2 = p^2/q^2 + 7 - 2√7p/q
{ (a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab }
= 2*√7p/q = p^2/q^2 + 5
=√7 = p^2 + 5q^2
------------------
2pq
√7 is irrational and p^2 + 5q^2 is rational
-----------------
2pq
hence, there is a contradiction
because an irrational number cannot be equal to the rational number.
√2+√7 is an irrational number.
I HOPE IT IS HELPFUL TO YOU.
