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

and practice it thoroughly as it can come in the cbse final exam of class 10 ok

have a nice day

Let us assume that 3 + 2\sqrt{5} is a rational no.

3 + 2 \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b}

(Where a and b are co- prime numbers and b≠0)
3 - \frac{a}{b} = 2 \sqrt{5}

 \frac{3b - a}{b} = 2 \sqrt{5}

 \frac{3b - a}{2b} = \sqrt{5}

 \frac{3b - a}{2b} It is a rational no. Where a and b are integers.

But,  \sqrt{5} is a irrational no. But above states that it is rational, but it is a contradiction.

So, we can conclude that 3 + 2\sqrt{5} is a irrational no.
