Answer:
Hello mate here is your answer
let 3+√5 is rational
so
3+√5 = a/b. (where they are co prime)
so √5 = A/B - 3
√5=. A-3B/b
so rational = irrational
this was not possible
so our contradiction is wrong
so 3+√5 is irrational
I hope u got a answer
plz follow me
and mark me as a brainlist

Answer:
Let us assume to the contrary that 3+√5 is irrational no.
3+√5 = p/q【where p and q are co prime and q is not equal to 0】
√5=p/q-3
√5=p-3q/q
√5=p-3q
p and q are integers so p-3q is rational
but √5is irrational
so our assumption is wrong
so 3+√5is irrational
