Question
Evaluate:
`5/9 + (-7)/6`
Advertisements
Solution
`5/9 + (-7)/6`
| 2 | 9, 6 |
| 3 | 9, 3 |
| 3 | 3, 1 |
| 1, 1 |
LCM of 9 and 6 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 18
`= (5xx2)/(9xx2) - (7xx3)/(6xx3)`
(LCM of 9 and 6 = 18)
`= (10-21)/18`
`= (-11)/18`

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`
