Step-by-step explanation:
Let √3-√5 be any rational number x
x=√3-√5
squaring both sides
x²=(√3-√5)²
x²=3+5-2√15
x²=8-2√15
x²+8=2√15
(x²+8)/2=√15
as x is a rational number so x²is also a rational number, 8 and 2 are rational nos. , so √15 must also be a rational number as quotient of two rational numbers is rational
but, √15 is an irrational number
so we arrive at a contradiction t
this shows that our supposition was wrong
so √3-√5 is not a rational number
OR U CAN DO IT LIKE THIS :
we know that, √3 and √5 are irrational numbers
so we know that sum of two irrational numbers is also irrational
√3-√5 is also irrational
hope this helps
