Answer:
Let us suppose that √3 + √7 be a rational no.
A rational number can be written in the form of p/q where 'p' and 'q' are co-prime rational integers and q≠0.
Then, √3 + √7 = p/q.
√3=p/q-√7
squaring both sides:
3 = p²/q² + 7 - 2*p/q*√7
⇒p²/q² + 7 - 2*p/q*√7-3 = 0
⇒p²/q²+4 = 2√7-p/q
⇒
⇒
In LHS, p and q are already taken as rational integers, 2 & 4 are also rational, and denominator ≠0. So, the LHS is rational. But we know that √7 is irrational. So, this contradicts us.
Thus proved that √3+√7 is irrational.
