Irrational

Step-by-step explanation


2√(3)+3√(2)-4√(3)+7√(2)

Step 1

simplify


\begin{gathered} 2√(3)+3√(2)-4√(3)+7√(2) \\ \lparen2-4)√(3)+\left(3+7\right)√(2) \\ -2√(3)+4√(2) \\ \end{gathered}

Step 2

the square root of 2 is an irrational number,because there is not number such that


√(2)=(a)/(b)

and

The square root of 3 is an irrational number √3 cannot be expressed in the form of p/q

hence

the sum of 2 irrational numbers gives a irrational result,Sum of two irrational numbers is always irrational.

so, the answer is
