prove that root 3 + root 5 is an irrational number
I all be thankful to whoever's will answer it

Answer:
Let √3+√5 be any rational number x
x=√3+√5
squaring both sides
x²=(√3+√5)²
x²=3+5+2√15
x²=8+2√15
x²-8=2√15
(x²-8)/2=√15
as x is a rational number so x²is also a rational number, 8 and 2 are rational nos. , so √15 must also be a rational number as quotient of two rational numbers is rational
but, √15 is an irrational number
so we arrive at a contradiction t
this shows that our supposition was wrong
so √3+√5 is not a rational number
or
we know that, √3 and √5 are irrational numbers
so we know that sum of two irrational numbers is also irrational
√3+√5 is also irrational.
hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
assume that √5+√3..is irrational number
so,√5+√3 is irrational (assume)so they must be in the form of p/q,where q not equal to zero
and p and q are integers
√5=2.2...
√3=1.71..
so our assuming is wrong √3+√5
is an irrational number
