⇒ Let √3+√5 be a rational number.
⇒ A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where p,q are integers.
⇒√3+√5 = p/q
√3 = p/q-√5
⇒Squaring on both sides,
(√3)² = (p/q-√5)²
3 = p²/q²+√5²-2(p/q)(√5)
√5×2p/q = p²/q²+5-3
√5 = (p²+2q²)/q² × q/2p
√5 = (p²+2q²)/2pq
Therefore, √3+√5 is an irrational number.
