Let us assume 6+3√2 is a
ratoinal number .
6+3√2 = a/b , where
a,b are integers , b≠0.
=> 3√2 = a/b - 6
=> 3√2 = ( a - 6b )/b
=> √2 = ( a - 6b )/3b
Since a,b are integers ,
(a - 6b)/3b is rational, and so
√2 is rational .
This contradicts the fact that
√2 is irrational.
Hence , 6 + 3√2 is irrational.
