Question

Rationalise the denominator of: (√3 + √2)/(√3-√2) = ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

(√3+√2)/(√3-√2)

To find:-

Rationalised form = ?

Solution:-

We have,

(√3+√2)/(√3-√2)

The denominator = √3-√2

The Rationalising factor of √3-√2 is √3+√2

On Rationalising the denominator then

=>[(√3+√2)/(√3-√2)]×[(√3+√2)/(√3+√2)]

=>[(√3+√2)(√3+√2)]×[(√3-√2)(√3+√2)]

=>(√3+√2)²/[(√3-√2)(√3+√2)]

=> (√3+√2)²/[(√3)²-(√2)²]

Since (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²

Where , a = √3 and b = √2

=> (√3+√2)²/(3-2)

=> (√3-√2)²/1

=> (√3+√2)²

=> (√3)²+2(√3)(√2)+(√2)²

Since , (a+b)² = a²+2ab+b²

Where , a = √3 and b = √2

=> 3+2√6+2

=> 5+2√6

Answer:-

The rationalised form of (√3+√2)/(√3-√2) is 3+2√6+2.

Used formulae:-

→ (a+b)² = a²+2ab+b²

→ (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²

→ (a+b)(a-b) = a²-b²

→ The Rationalising factor of √a-√b is √a+√b
