Let √2+3√5 be rational no.
Then, √2+3√5=
where, a and b are positive integers, and b≠0
So,
√2+3√5=
√2+√5=
= ...(1)
and,
√2+√5= irrational + irrational = irrational...(2)
so, from (1) and (2)
we get,
irrational = rational
{which is not possible}
OUR SUPPOSITION IS WRONG...
√2+3√5 ...IS NOT RATIONAL...IT IS IRRATIONAL!
