Let us assume root 3 + root 2 be a rational number
root 3 + roo 2 = p/q where p,q ∈ z,q not equal to 0
root 3 = p/q - root 2
Squaring both side,
(root3)² = (p/q - root2)²
=> 3 = p²/q² - 2 . root 2 . p/q + 2
=> 2 root 2 . p/q = p²/q² + 2 - 3
=> 2 root 2 . p/q = p²/q² - 1
=> 2 (root 2) p/q = (p² - q²)/q²
=> root 2 = (p² - q²/q²)(q/2p)
=> root 2 = p² - q² / 2pq
root 2 is a rational no.
Therefore, p² - q² / 2pq is a rational number.
But root 2 is a irrational number this leads us to a contradiction.
Since, our assumption that root 3 + root 2 is a rational number is wrong.
Root 3 + root 2 is an irrational number
Hope it helps
