Answer:
let's assume, on the contrary that 3+√5 is rational
that is, we can find co- prime a&b (#0) such that
3+√5 = a/b
therefore, 3 - a/b = √5
since a and b are integers so, 3 - a/b is a rational number so, √5 is also rational
but this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational
the contradiction has arisen due to our incorrect assumption that 3 + √5 is rational
so,
we conclude that 3 + √5 is irrational.
