Let us assume to contrary that 2+√3 is rational,
i.e.,
we can find m and n(≠0) two such positive co-prime integers so that,
m/n = 2+√3
m/n - 2 = √3
m - 2n/n = √3
let we say m-2n/m as x
since,
m,n and 2 are integers.
so,
x is also integer.
x is rational.
so, √3 must be rational.
But, this contradicts the fact that √3 is irrational.
This contradiction has arisen due to our incorrect assumption that 2+√3 is rational.
So, we conclude that 2+√3 is irrational
