Question

root 5 + root 3/2root5-3root 3 = a - b root 15 please anwer this i will ad u brainlist

Answer 1

Answer:

First rationalize: root 5 + root 3 divided by root 5 - root 3,

we get, (root 5 + root 3)2 / (root 5 - root 3)( root 5 + root 3)

= (8+2 root 15)/2

now compare LHS and RHS,

(given), (8+2root15) / 2 = a+root 15b

=> 2(4+ root 15) / 2 = a+root15 b [here we removed the common factor and cancelled]

=> 4+ root 15 = a+ root 15 b

therefore, the value of 'a' can be 4 and the value of 'b' can be 1 ( as any no. multiplied with one will be the no. itself)

hope this helps u (cuz i went in detail!!)
