Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Let us assume that 3 + √5 is a rational number.
→ Now,
→ 3 + √5 = (a ÷ b)
→ [Here a and b are co-prime numbers]
→ √5 = [(a ÷ b) - 3]
→ √5 = [(a - 3b) ÷ b]
→ Here, {(a - 3b) ÷ b} is a rational number.
→ But we know that √5 is a irrational number.
→ So, {(a - 3b) ÷ b} is also a irrational number.
→ So, our assumption is wrong.
→ 3 + √5 is a irrational number.
→ Hence, proved that 3+√5 is irrational.
