Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that \sqrt2+\sqrt3 is rational.

Then, according to the definition of rational numbers, there exists p and q (co-prime to each other, integers and q≠0) such that

\sqrt2+\sqrt3=\dfrac{p}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt2=\dfrac{p}{q}-\sqrt3\\\\\Rightarrow 2=\left(\dfrac{p}{q}-\sqrt3\right)^2~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Squaring both sides}]\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2=\dfrac{p^2}{q^2}-2\sqrt3\dfrac{p}{q}+3\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2\sqrt3\dfrac{p}{q}=\dfrac{p^2}{q^2}+1\\\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt3=\dfrac{p}{2q}+\dfrac{q}{2p}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \sqrt3=\dfrac{p^2-q^2}{2pq}.

Since p and q are integers, so the fraction on the right-hand side of the above equation is rational.

This implies that √3 is also rational, which is a contradiction.

Thus, our assumption is wrong and hence \sqrt2+\sqrt3 is rational.
