Answer:
Let us assume that 3 + 2 root 5 is a rational number.
So we can write this number as
3 + 2 root 5 = a/b
Here a and b are two integers and co prime numbers and b is not equal to 0
Subtract 3 both sides we get
2 root 5 = a/b - 3
2 root 5 = (a-3b)/b
Now divide by 2 we get
root 5 = (a-3b)/2b
Here a and b are integer so (a-3b)/2b is a rational number so root 5 should be a rational number But root 5 is a irrational number so it contradict the fact
Hence result is 3 + 2 root 5 is a irrational number
hope it helps you
plzzzz mark it brainliest

Let us assume that is a rational no.
(Where a and b are co- prime numbers and b≠0)
It is a rational no. Where a and b are integers.
But, is a irrational no. But above states that it is rational, but it is a contradiction.
So, we can conclude that is a irrational no.
