let 3 + 2 root 5 is rational
therefore 3 + 2 root 5=a/b
root 5=a-3/2b
because a-3/2b is rational
therefore root 5 will also be rational
but we know that,
root 5 is irrational
that is our supposition is wrong
that is 3+2 root 5 is irrational.........
hope its help u.......

let 3+2root5=a/b
2root5=a/b-3
rearranging the equation 2root5=a-3b/b
root5=a-3b/2b
from the above we observe that a-3b/2b is rational number.so that root5is also rational.but root5 is not rational number.by this we can say 3+2root5 is irrational number
