Answer:
We have to show that √3+√5 is irrational
We would prove it ny the contradiction method:-
If possible let √3+√5 be a rational number equal to a :-
√3+√5=a
(√3+√5)^2=a^2. (squaring both the sides)
3+2√15+5=a^2
8+2√15=a^2
√15=(a^2-8)/2
So, here a is rational se a^2 will be rational so
(a^2-8)/2 will be rational
So, √15 will be rational because √15=(a^2-8)/2
But it contradicts the fact that √15 is irrational
So our assumption is wrong that √3+√5 is rational
