Simple answer:

Difference of a irrational number and a rational number is always a irrational number. So,

\sqrt{3} -2 is irrational

Hence Proved

Some-what long answer:

Let's assume that \sqrt{3} -2 is rational and is in the form of p/q [Where p and q are rational]. Then,

\sqrt{3} -2 = p/q\\\sqrt{3} = \frac{p-2q}{q}

Here in LHS is irrational but RHS is rational this contradicts the fact that \sqrt{3} -2 is rational.

\sqrt{3} -2 is irrational

Hence proved
