Suppose 2+√5 is a rational number
rightwards double arrow 2 plus square root of 5 equals straight p over straight q comma space space straight p comma straight q space are space integers space and space straight q not equal to 0 rightwards double arrow square root of 5 equals straight p over straight q minus 2 Since comma space difference space of space two space rational space numbers space is space rational Therefore comma space straight p over straight q minus 2 space is space straight a space rational space number. Thus comma space square root of 5 space is space rational. This space is space straight a space contradiction space as space square root of 5 space is space irrational Hence comma space 2 plus square root of 5 space is space an space irrational space number.
