Rationalise the denominator of the following
`sqrt2/sqrt5`
Advertisements
Solution
We know that rationalization factor for `1/sqrta ` is `sqrta`. We willmultiply numerator and denominator of the given expression `sqrt2/sqrt5` by `sqrt5`, to get
`sqrt2/sqrt5 xx sqrt5/sqrt5 = (sqrt2 xx sqrt5)/(sqrt5 xx sqrt5)`
`= sqrt10/5`
Hence the given expression is simplified to `sqrt10/5`
