Step-by-step explanation:

Prove 3+2

5

is irrational.

→ let take that 3+2

5

is rational number

→ so, we can write this answer as

⇒3+2

5

=

b

a

Here a & b use two coprime number and b

=0.

⇒2

5

=

b

a

−3

⇒2

5

=

b

a−3b

5

=

2b

a−3b

Here a and b are integer so

2b

a−3b

is a rational number so

5

should be rational number but

5

is a irrational number so it is contradict

- Hence 3+2

5

is irrational.

Given:3 + 2√5

To prove:3 + 2√5 is an irrational number.

Proof:

Letus assume that 3 + 2√5 is a rational number.

Soit can be written in the form a/b

3 + 2√5 = a/b

Here a and b are coprime numbers and b ≠ 0

Solving3 + 2√5 = a/b we get,

=>2√5 = a/b – 3

=>2√5 = (a-3b)/b

=>√5 = (a-3b)/2b

This shows (a-3b)/2b is a rational number. But we know that But √5 is an irrational number.

so it contradictsour assumption.

Our assumption of3 + 2√5 is a rational number is incorrect.

3 + 2√5 is an irrational number

Hence proved
