Let us assume that 5+2√3 is rational
5+2√3 = p/q ( where p and q are co prime)
2√3 = p/q-5
2√3 = p-5q/q
√3 = p-5q/2q
now p , 5 , 2 and q are integers
∴ p-5q/2q is rational
∴ √3 is rational
but we
know that √3 is irrational . This is a contradiction which has arisen due to our wrong assumption.
∴ 5+2√3 is irrational
PLZ mark me as brainliest

If possible, let us assume 3+5√2 as a rational number
Then,(3+5√2)-3
⇒5√2 is rational ∵[difference of two rational is always a rational]
Then,( 5√2 )×(1/5)
⇒√2 is rational ∵[product of two rationals is always a rational]
But,we know that √2 is an irrational number.
Thus,we arrive to the contradiction that √2 is a rational.
This contradiction arises by assuming 3+5√2 as rational.
Thus,3+5√2 is an irrational number.
