Let 2√5 is a rational number.
2√5 = p/q
Squaring on both side we get, then we get
4(5) = p^2/q^2
20 = p^2/q^2
20q^2 = p^2
p^2 is a multiple of 20
Therefore, p is also a multiple of 20
Therefore, P has a factor of 20
P^2/20 = q^2
q^2 is also a multiple of 20
Therefore, q is also a multiple of 20
Therfore, q also has a factor of 20.
Hence, both p and q has a factor of 20 except 1.Hence our consideration is wrong.
Therefore 2√5 is an irrational number.
As we know that if any natural number is added with irrational number than it must be irrational.
Hence prove 3+2√5 is an irrational number.
