Ello user !!!!!!
Here is your answer,
================================================
Lets assume that :
√3 + √4 is rational.
√3 + √4 = r , where r is rational
Squaring both sides , we get
[√3 + √4 ]² = r²
3 + 2√12 + 4 = r²
7 + 2√12 = r²
2√12 = r² - 6
√12 = [ r² - 6] / 2
R.H.S is purely rational , whereas , L.H.S is irrational.
This is a contradiction.
This means that our assumption was wrong.
Hence , √3 + √4 is irrational.
=====================================
HOPE THIS HELPS YOUU :)
AND STAY BLESSED.

3 is a prime number. All primes, when rooted, are irrational numbers. Therefore √3 is irrational. √4 is 2. ANYTHING plus an irrational number has an answer that is still irrational. Therefore 2 + √3 = irrational.
