Step-by-step explanation:
let us assume that √3+√2 is rational. Therefore √3+√2=p/q where q is not equal to 0; p and q are integers; (p,q)=1
So, we have
√3+√2=p/q
square both sides
(√3+√2)² = (p/q)²
(√3)² +(√2)² +2(√3)(√2) = (p/q)²
3 + 2 + 2√6 = p²/q²
5+ 2√6 = p²/q²
2√6 = {p²/q² - 5}
√6 = 1/2 {p²/q² - 5}. -(i)
We know that √6 is irrational.
But eq. (i) states that irrational = rational, which isn't true.
Hence, our assumption is wrong.
So √3+√2 is irrational.
