Can someone please help with this math question:)

Bingel [31]

Solution:

The rationalisation factor for $\frac{1}{ a - \sqrt{b} }$ is $a + \sqrt{b}$

So, let us apply it here.

$\frac{1}{5 - \sqrt{2} }$

The rationalising factor for 5 - √2 is 5 + √2.

Therefore, multiplying and dividing by 5 + √2, we have

$= \frac{1}{5 - \sqrt{2} } \times \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{5 + \sqrt{2} } \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{(5 - \sqrt{2})(5 + \sqrt{2} ) } \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{ {(5)}^{2} - ( \sqrt{2})^{2} } \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{25 - 2} \\ = \frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{23}$

Answer:

$\frac{5 + \sqrt{2} }{23}$

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

Reduce 720/1080 little cunfused

Veronika [31]

To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible.

In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
