Question
Rationalise the denominator and simplify `(2sqrt(6) - sqrt(5))/(3sqrt(5) - 2sqrt(6))`
Advertisements
Solution
`(2sqrt(6) - sqrt(5))/(3sqrt(5) - 2sqrt(6)) = ((2sqrt(6) - sqrt(5))(3sqrt(5) + 2sqrt(6)))/((3sqrt(5) - 2sqrt(6))(3sqrt(5) + 2sqrt(6))`
= `(6sqrt(6 xx 5) + 4 xx sqrt(6 xx 6) - sqrt(5) xx 3sqrt(5) - 2 xx sqrt(5 xx 6))/((3sqrt(5))^2 - (2sqrt(6))^2`
= `(6sqrt(30) + 4 xx 6 - 3 xx 5 - 2sqrt(30))/(45 - 24)`
= `(sqrt(30)(6 - 2) + 24 - 15)/21`
= `(9 + 4sqrt(30))/21`
