Let 3+2√5 be rational.

3+2√2 = p/q where q≠ 0 & p and q are integers.

3 + \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b} \: \: \: \: \: \:3+

a and b are coprime integers

\begin{gathered}2 \sqrt{5} = \frac{a}{b} - 3 \\ 2 \sqrt{5} \: \frac{a - 3}{b} \\ \sqrt{5} = \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{a}{b} - 3)\end{gathered}

\begin{gathered}Since \: a \: and \: b \: are \: integers \: \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{a}{b} - 3) \: \\ will \: also \: be \: rational. \\ therefore \: \sqrt{5} \: is \: rational \end{gathered}

This contradicts that the fact √5 is irrational.

Hence our assumption that 3+2√5 is irrational number is false

Therefore 3+2√5 is irrational number
