Write the Lowest Rationalising Factor of : √5 - √2 - Mathematics

Write the lowest rationalising factor of : √5 - √2

Sum

√5 - √2
( √5 - √2 )( √5 + √2 ) = ( √5 )² - ( √2 )² = 3

Therefore lowest rationalizing factor is √5 + √2

Rationalize the denominator.

`5/sqrt 7`

Write the lowest rationalising factor of : √24

Write the lowest rationalising factor of : 7 - √7

Write the lowest rationalising factor of : √18 - √50

Write the lowest rationalising factor of : √13 + 3

Find the values of 'a' and 'b' in each of the following:
`3/[ sqrt3 - sqrt2 ] = asqrt3 - bsqrt2`

If x =`[sqrt5 - 2 ]/[ sqrt5 + 2]` and y = `[ sqrt5 + 2]/[ sqrt5 - 2 ]`; find : xy

If `[ 2 + sqrt5 ]/[ 2 - sqrt5] = x and [2 - sqrt5 ]/[ 2 + sqrt5] = y`; find the value of x² - y².

If √2 = 1.4 and √3 = 1.7, find the value of : `1/(3 + 2√2)`

Rationalise the denominator `sqrt(75)/sqrt(18)`
