Answer:
prove :
Let 3+√2 is an rational number.. such that
3+√2 = a/b ,where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero ..
therefore,
3 + √2 = a/b
√2 = a/b -3
√2 = (3b-a) /b
therefore, √2 = (3b - a)/b is rational as a, b and 3 are integers..
It means that √2 is rational....
But this contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational..
So, it concludes that 3+√2 is irrational..
