let  \: 3 +  \sqrt{5} \:  be \: rational

3 +  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{x}{y} (x \: and \: y \: are \: integers)

 \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{x}{y}  - 3

Since a and b are integers so x/y-3 is also rational.This shows that root 5 is also rational but this contradicts the fact that root 5 is irrational.

so \: 3 +  \sqrt{5} \:  is \:irrational
