how to state order of surd
Answers
Answer:
The order of a surd indicates the index of root to be extracted.
In n
√
a
, n is called the order of the surd and a is called the radicand.
For example: The order of the surd 5
√
z
is 5.
(i) A surd with index of root 2 is called a second order surd or quadratic surd.
The surds which have the indices of root 2 are called as second order surds or quadratic surds. For example√2, √3, √5, √7, √x are the surds of order 2.
Example: √2, √5, √10, √a, √m, √x, √(x + 1) are second order surd or quadratic surd (since the indices of roots are 2).

Answer:
The order of a surd indicates the index of root to be extracted. In n√a, n is called the order of the surd and a is called the radicand. For example: The order of the surd 5√z is 5. (i) A surd with index of root 2 is called a second order surd or quadratic surd.
