Solution
After rationalising the denominator of `7/(3sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(2))`, we get the denominator as 19.
Explanation:
Given: Number `7/(3sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(2))`
After rationalising: `7/(3sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(2)) = 7/(3sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(2)) xx (3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(2))/(3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(2))`
= `(7(3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(2)))/((3sqrt(3))^2 - 2(sqrt(2))^2`
= `(7(3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(2)))/(27 - 8)`
= `(7(3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(2)))/19`

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?
Express the following with rational denominator:
`(sqrt3 + 1)/(2sqrt2 - sqrt3)`
Rationales the denominator and simplify:
`(2sqrt3 - sqrt5)/(2sqrt2 + 3sqrt3)`
Simplify
`1/(2 + sqrt3) + 2/(sqrt5 - sqrt3) + 1/(2 - sqrt5)`
In the following determine rational numbers a and b:
`(4 + 3sqrt5)/(4 - 3sqrt5) = a + bsqrt5`
Write the rationalisation factor of \[7 - 3\sqrt{5}\].
Simplify \[\sqrt{3 - 2\sqrt{2}}\].
Rationalise the denominator of the following:
`sqrt(40)/sqrt(3)`
Rationalise the denominator in the following and hence evaluate by taking `sqrt(2) = 1.414, sqrt(3) = 1.732` and `sqrt(5) = 2.236`, upto three places of decimal.
`1/(sqrt(3) + sqrt(2))`
If `sqrt(2) = 1.414, sqrt(3) = 1.732`, then find the value of `4/(3sqrt(3) - 2sqrt(2)) + 3/(3sqrt(3) + 2sqrt(2))`.
