Answer:
Given - 3 + √5
To prove - it is an irrational no.
solution -
Let assume that it is a rational no.
3 + √5 = p/q , where p and q are co primes
√5 = p -3/ 3q
Rational is not equal to irrational. √5 is an irrational no. and p- 3/ 3q is a rational no.
our assumption is wrong 3 + √5 is an irrational no.
hence, proved
