Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let us assume 3-root5 is a rat. number in its simplest form
3-'5=a/b(here ' is root)
-'5=a/b+3
a/b is rat. so a/b+3 is also rat.(addition in rat. numbers)
so '5 is also rat.
but it is given that root 5 is irrat.
we arrive a a contradiction
this contradiction arrises by assuming 3-'5 is rational so 3-'5 is irrat.
