Answer:
# Proof by Contraction Method applied #
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey Mate........
Let us assume that 3+ √5 is a rational number.
Their exist rationals 'a ' and 'b' such that they are co- prime.
3+√5 = a/b
By Cross Multiplication :
3a + √5b = a
√5b = a - 3a
√5 b= -2a
√5 = -2a / b
This implies that √5 is a rational number.
This contradiction has arisen because of our wrong assumption that 3+√5 is a rational.
Therefore,we Conclude that 3+√5 is an irrational number.
Thanks:)
