Question
Rationalise the denominator of the following
`(sqrt2 + sqrt5)/3`
Advertisements
Solution
We know that rationalization factor for `1/sqrta` is `sqrta`. We will multiply numerator and denominator of the given expression `(sqrt2 + sqrt5)/sqrt3` by `sqrt3` to get
`(sqrt2 + sqrt5)/sqrt3 " by " sqrt3` to get
`(sqrt2 + sqrt5)/sqrt3 xx sqrt3/sqrt3 = (sqrt2 xx sqrt3 + sqrt5 xx sqrt3)/(sqrt3 xx sqrt3)`
`= (sqrt6 + sqrt15)/3`
Hence the given expression is simplified to `(sqrt6 +sqrt15)/3`

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?
