suppose 3+2✓5 is the rational number and can be written in form of p/q
3+2✓5=p/q
2✓5=p/q-3
✓5=1/2(p/q-3)
we know that ✓5is the rational number
which is the contradiction with the fact that 3+2✓5is an irrational number

Answer:
by the method of contradiction .
let us assume that 3+2√5 is a rational number .
so ,
3+2√5 = a ÷ b
√5 = a÷2b - 3
so ,
here a÷ 2b- 3 is rational number
but ,
it is said that √ 5 is irrational
this contradiction has arisen due to our incorrect assumption .
this contradicts the fact that ,
3+2√5 is an irrational number
