To Prove: 2+{tex}\sqrt3{/tex} is an irratinal number.

Given: {tex}\sqrt3{/tex} is irrational number.

Proof: Let 2 + {tex}\sqrt{3}{/tex} be a rational number.
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 2 + {tex}\sqrt{3}{/tex} = {tex}\frac{p}{q}{/tex}, p, q {tex}\in{/tex} I, q {tex}\ne{/tex} 0 
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} {tex}\sqrt{3}{/tex} = {tex}\frac{p}{q}{/tex} - 2

           = {tex}\frac{p - 2q}{q}{/tex}

           = {tex}\frac{integer}{integer}{/tex}
 {tex}\implies{/tex}{tex}\sqrt{3}{/tex} is rational number

 {tex}\Rightarrow{/tex}  which is a contradiction to the fact that {tex}\sqrt{3}{/tex} is a rational
 hence 2 + {tex}\sqrt{3}{/tex} is irrational number.
