Your Answer is here:-
Let √3 + √5 be a rational number , say x
then √3 + √5 = x
On squaring both sides,
(√3 + √5)² = x²
3 + 2 √15 + 5 = x²
8 + 2 √15 = x²
2 √15 = x² - 8
√15 = (x² - 8) / 2
Now (x² - 8) / 2 is a rational number and √15 is an irrational number .
So, it is an irrational number.
Hope it helps you dear........xd
