Answer:
5-2√3 is an irrational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume, the contrary,that 5 - 2√ 3 is an rational number .
So, 5-2√3=a/b where a and b are integer and (≠0)
√3=-1/2[ 5-a/b]
-1/2[5-a/b] is a rational number as a and b are integer
Then √3 is rational no but it contradict the given that √3 is an irrational number
so, our assumption is worng
Therefore, 5-2√3 is an irrational number.
