prove that root 3+root 5is an irrational number
Answers
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.
this shows that our Contradiction was wrong.
so √3+√5 is not a rational number.

Answer:
ok i will explain but u follow me then ok
Step-by-step explanation:
Let as assume on contrary that
√3 + √5
is a rational number.
Then there exists co - prime integers p and q such that
root 3+root5 =p/q
p/q-root3=root5
p/q-root3 is an rational no. so,roots 5 ia also a rational no. but this contradicts our assumption is wrong we know that root 5 is an irrational no. so that on our contradicts
root3+root5is an irrational no.
