Simplify the following expressions:
`(3 + sqrt3)(3 - sqrt3)`
Advertisements
उत्तर
We know that `(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2`. We will use this property to simplify the expression
`(3 + sqrt3)(3 - sqrt3)`
`∴ (3 + sqrt3)(3 - sqrt3) = (3)^2 - (sqrt3)^2`
`= 3^2 - sqrt3 xx sqrt3`
`= 3 xx 3 - sqrt(3 xx 3)`
`= 9 - (3^2)^(1/2)`
`= 9 - 3^1`
= 6
Hence the value of expression is 6.

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?
Find the value to three places of decimals of the following. It is given that
`sqrt2 = 1.414`, `sqrt3 = 1.732`, `sqrt5 = 2.236` and `sqrt10 = 3.162`
`(sqrt2 - 1)/sqrt5`
Express the following with rational denominator:
`(3sqrt2 + 1)/(2sqrt5 - 3)`
Rationales the denominator and simplify:
`(2sqrt6 - sqrt5)/(3sqrt5 - 2sqrt6)`
Simplify
`1/(2 + sqrt3) + 2/(sqrt5 - sqrt3) + 1/(2 - sqrt5)`
Simplify the following:
`sqrt(24)/8 + sqrt(54)/9`
Rationalise the denominator of the following:
`2/(3sqrt(3)`
If `sqrt(2) = 1.414, sqrt(3) = 1.732`, then find the value of `4/(3sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(2)) + 3/(3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(2))`.
If `a = (3 + sqrt(5))/2`, then find the value of `a^2 + 1/a^2`.
If `x = (sqrt(3) + sqrt(2))/(sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))` and `y = (sqrt(3) - sqrt(2))/(sqrt(3) + sqrt(2))`, then find the value of x2 + y2.
