Answer:
Hey!❤️
Let us assume, to the contrary, that 3 +√2 is
rational. Then, there exist co-prime positive integers a and b such that3 +√2
= ba
⇒ 2
=3ba
⇒ 2 is rational ...[∵3,a and b are integers∴
3b a is a rational number]
This contradicts the fact that 2 is irrational.
So, our assumption is not correct.
Hence, 3+ √2

Step-by-step explanation:
◆◆ HERE IS THE MOST SIMPLE PROOF & EASY TO UNDERSTAND◆◆
◆Let 3√2 be Rational Number.
So if this is Rational;
3√2=0
=>√2=0/3
=>√2=0
But, we know that √2 is Irrational which is equal to 0 which is Rational.
Hence, This Contradicts our statement.
◆Hence 3√2 is Irrational◆
