Answer:
√3+√7 is irrational.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that √3+√7 is rational.
That is , we can find coprimes a and b (b≠0) such that
Therefore,
Squaring on both sides ,we get
Rearranging the terms ,
Since, a and b are integers , is rational ,and so √3 also rational.
But this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational.
This contradiction has arisen because of our incorrect assumption that √3+√7 is rational.
Hence, √3+√7 is irrational.
