If 5+ 2 root 3 upon
7+root 3 = a-b root3 find the a and b where are a and b are rational numbers
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
To find : Value of a and b
Solution :
Consider Left Hand Side
Rationalize the denominator
The Rationalizing factor of 7 + √3 is 7 - √3 . So, Multiply numerator and denominator with rationalising factor.
Since (x + y)(x - y) = x² - y²
Now Consider,
Equating to the corresponding rational and irrational number we have ,
Identity used :-
(x + y)(x - y) = x² - y²
Extra info related to the question :-
What is a rationlising factor ?
If the product of two irrational numbers is a rational number then each of the the two is rationalising factor of the other.
How to rationalise the denominator ?
1) Consider the denominator of the fraction.
2) Then multiply the numerator and denominator with rationalising factor of the denominator.
Answer:
5 + 2√3 / 7 + √3 = a - b√3
LHS :-
= 5 + 2√3 / 7 + √3
= Multiply both sides by √3 .
= 5 + 2√3 * 7 - √3 / 7 + √3 * 7 - √3
= 35 - 5√3 + 14√3 - 6 / 49 - 3
= 29 + 9√3 / 46
so , a = 29 / 46
b = 9 / 46
