3-2√5 is an irrational no.
And If an IR no. is divided by Q Then the answer is always an IR no.
Q= Rational no. ( If ya don't know )
______________________________________
Suppose 3-2√5/5 is Q
= 3-2√5/5 = p/q ,p and q are co primes , q not equal to zero .
= 3-2√5=5p/q
= -2√5= 5p/q -3
= -√5 = 5p/q-3 ×2
LHS = IR ; RHS = Q
Hence , LHS not Equal to RHS
Therefore ! 3-2√5/5 is an IR no.
