Answer:
let us assume on the contrary that 3+2√5 is rational then there exist co-prime positive integers a and b such that
3+2√5=a÷b
2√5=a÷b-3
√5=a-3b÷2b
√5 is rational (a, b are integers thus, a-2b÷2b is a rational)
this contradict the fact that √5 is irrational. so let supposition is incorrect. hence, 3+2√5 is an irrational number
