Question
Evaluate:
`4 + 3/(-5)`
Advertisements
Solution
`4/1 + 3/(-5)`
= `4/1 - 3/5`
= `(4xx5)/(1xx5) - (3xx1)/(5xx1)` (LCM of 1 and 5 = 5)
= `(20-3)/5 = 17/5 = 3 2/5`

The number `sqrt2` is shown on a number line. Steps are given to show `sqrt3` on the number line using `sqrt2`. Fill in the boxes properly and complete the activity.
Activity :
- The point Q on the number line shows the number ______.
- A line perpendicular to the number line is drawn through the point Q. Point R is at unit distance from Q on the line.
- Right angled ∆ORQ is obtained by drawing seg OR.
`l ("OQ") = sqrt2` , `l("QR") = 1`
`therefore` by Pythagoras theorem,
`[l("OR")]^2 = [l("OQ")]^2 + [l("QR")]^2 `
= `square^2`+ `square^2` = `square` + `square`
= `square`
∴ l(OR) = `square`
