Question
Rationales the denominator and simplify:
`(5 + 2sqrt3)/(7 + 4sqrt3)`
Advertisements
Solution
We know that rationalization factor for `7 + 4sqrt3` is `7 - 4sqrt3`. We will multiply numerator and denominator of the given expression `(5 + 2sqrt3)/(7 + 4sqrt3)` by `7 - 4sqrt3` to get
`(5 + 2sqrt3)/(7 + 4sqrt3) xx (7 - 4sqrt3)/(7 - 4sqrt3) = (5xx7 - 5 xx 4sqrt3 + 2 xx 7 xx sqrt3 - 2 xx 4 xx (sqrt3)^2)/((7)^2 - (4sqrt3)^2)`
`= (35 - 20sqrt3 + 14sqrt3 - 8 xx 3)/(49 - 49)`
`= (11 - 6sqrt3)/1`
`= 11 - 6sqrt3`
Hence the given expression is simplified to `11 - 6sqrt3`
