उत्तर
Given that. `x=sqrt5 +2 ` Hence `1/x`is given as
`1/x = 1/(sqrt5+2)`.We need to find `x - 1/x`
We know that rationalization factor for `sqrt5+2` is`sqrt5-2`. We will multiply numerator and denominator of the given expression\`1/(sqrt5 +2)` by`sqrt5 - 2`, to get
`1/x = 1/(sqrt5+2 ) xx (sqrt5 - 2)/(sqrt5 -2)`
` = (sqrt 5-2)/((sqrt5)^2 - (2)^2 )`
`=(sqrt5 -2)/(5-4)`
` = sqrt5 - 2`
Therefore,
`x - 1/x=sqrt5 +2 -(sqrt5 - 2)`
`= sqrt5 +2 - sqrt5 +2`
` = 2+2`
` = 4`

Recall, π is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say c) of a circle to its diameter (say d). That is, π = `c/d`. This seems to contradict the fact that π is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction?
