prove that root 3 + 5 is irrationalnumber

HEY!
REFER TO THE ATTACHMENT ABOVE ❤
HOPE IT HELPS UHH ❤
Step-by-step explanation:
let root 3 is rational
if root 3 is rational then it must be equal to p/q where p and q are coprime and q is not equal to zero
root3=p/q
squaring both sides
3=p square/q square
3q square= p square ...............1
3 is a factor of p square
3 is a factor of p
now,
let p= 3r
squaring both sides
p square= 9r square
from 1,
3q square= 9r square
q square = 3r square. ............2
3 is a factor of q square
3 is a factor of q
From 1 and 2 we get,
3 is factor of p and q both which is a contradiction to our supposition because p and q were coprime
Hence,
root3 is irrational
and also root 3 +5 is irrational because
now it doesnot matter that now root 5 is rational or irrational as
rational +rational=rational
irrational +rational= irrational
therefore,
root3 +5 is irrational
