Step-by-step explanation:

here is your answer if you want image then follow me guys

let us assume that 5- root 3 is rational. Then it can be written in the form

5 - root3 = p/q

or 5 - p/q = root3

It implies root3 is a rational number [Since 5 - p/q are rationals]

But this contradicts to the fact that root 3 is irrational. Hence our supposition was wrong. Therefore 5 - root 3 is irrational.

Answer:

please mark as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that 3+5 is a rational number.

Now,

3+5=ba [Here a and b are co-prime numbers]

5=[(ba)−3]

5=[(ba−3b)]

Here, [(ba−3b)] is a rational number.

But we know that 5 is an irrational number.

So, [(ba−3b)] is also a irrational number.

So, our assumption is wrong.

3+5 is an irrational number.

Hence, proved.
