Answer:
prove -if possible let us assume that 3+2√5 is a rational number
Step-by-step explanation:
so we can write it in the form of 3+2√5 =a\b
where a and b are integers and bid not equal to 0
so, 2√5=a\b+3
2√5=a+3b\b
√5=a+3b/2b
but this contradict that fact that √5 is an irrational number
this contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that 3+2√5 is rational
so we conclude that 3+2√5 is an irrational number
