Question

Prove that √3+√5 is an irrational number.​

Answer 1

Solution:- Let us assume that 3 + √5 is a rational number.

Now,

3 + √5 = (a ÷ b)

[Here a and b are co-prime numbers]

√5 = [(a ÷ b) - 3]

√5 = [(a - 3b) ÷ b]

Here, {(a - 3b) ÷ b} is a rational number.

But we know that √5 is a irrational number.

So, {(a - 3b) ÷ b} is also a irrational number.

So, our assumption is wrong.

√3 + √5 is a irrational number.

Hence, proved.
