Answer:
Let it be a rational
means it is of form x/y
where x and y are co prime integers and y not equal to 0
√3+√7=x/y
Sqaring both sides
3+7+2√21=x²/y²
10+2√21=x²/y²
x²-10y²/2y²=√21
but it contradict the fact that x and y are co-prime integers are √21 is irrational and x²2-10x²/2y2 is rational
it helps you solve your problem
