1. Rationalise the denominator
root75/root18
Answers
TO RATIONALIZE THE DOMINATOR THIS MEANS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE A RATIONAL NUMBR IN THE
DENOMINATOR .
SOLUTION -
WE NEED TO RATIONALIZE DENOMINATOR OF
√75/√18
FOR THIS FIRST WE NEED TO CONVERT THIS NUMBERS
INTO SIMPLER FORM
THAT IS
√75 = 5√3
AND √18 = 3√2
NOW PUTTING THIS VALUE INSTEAD OF √75 AND √18
WE HAVE
5√3 / 3√2
NOW WE NEED TO RATIONALIZE THE DENOMINATOR
FOR THIS WE CAN MULTIPLY
5√3 / 3√2 BY 3√2 / 3√2
THAT IS EQUAL TO
5√3 × 3√2 / (3 √2)^2
THAT IS EQUAL TO
15√6 / 18
HENCE THE REQUIRED RATIONALIZED FORM IS
15√6 / 18
Answer:
To rationalize a denominator, you need to find a quantity that, when multiplied by the denominator, will create a rational number (no radical terms) in the denominator. When the denominator contains a single term, as in , multiplying the fraction by will remove the radical from the denominator.
