Answer:
3+2^5=a/b (where a and b are co primes whose hcf is 1)
2^5=a/b-3
2^5=a-3b/b
^5=a-3b/2b
rational is not equal to irrational
hence 3+2^5 is irrational

Answer:
3+2√5 =a/b
2√5=a/b-5
√5=1/2(a/b-3)
1/2(a/b-3 ) is rational. so √5 is also rational.
but √5 is irrational . so our assumption was wrong
hence proved...
hope it is helpful..
