The sum of a rational and an irrational number is always irrational. Here is a brief proof:
Let a be a rational number and b be an irrational number, and c = a + b their sum. By way of contradiction, suppose c is also rational. Then we can write b = c - a. But since c and a are both rational, so is their difference, and this means that bis rational as well. But we already said that b is an irrational number. This is a contradiction, and hence the original assumption was false. Namely, the sum c must be an irrational number.
