Answer:
Let us assume that 3 + root 5 is rational.
Step-by-step explanation:
There exists coprime integer p and q where q is not equal to zero.
Therefore 3 + root 5 = p/q
Root 5 = p/q -3
Root 5 = p- 3q/q
Root 5 is rational and p- 3q/q is rational (as assumed).
But rational number cannot be equal to an irrational number.
Therefore 3 + root 5 is an irrational number .
