Assume that √2+√3 is a rational number. Then,
√2+√3=pq
Where p and q are co-prime numbers and q≠0.
Squaring both sides,
2+3+2√3=p2q2
5+2√3=p2q2
2√3=p2q2−5
2√3=p2−5q2q2
√3=p2−5q22q2
It can be observed that p2−5q22q2 is a rational number but √3 is an irrational number which cannot be possible.
Therefore, the assumption is wrong.
Hence, √2+√3 is an irrational number.
