Answer:
let us assume 3 + 2√5 is a rational number.
3 + 2√5 = a/b (where a and b are integers and a ≠ 0)
2√5 = a/b - 3
2√5 = a - 3b/ b
√5 = a - 3b/ 2b
a - 3b/ 2b is rational.
√5 = a - 3b/ 2b and hence √5 is also rational.
but this contradicts the fact that √5 is irrational.
hence proved, 3 + 2√5 is irrational.
