<u>Solution</u><u>:</u>

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}

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>\frac{5 +  \sqrt{2} }{23}</u>

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

To rationalise the denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

the conjugate of 5 - \sqrt{2} is 5 + \sqrt{2} , then

= \frac{1(5+\sqrt{2}) }{(5-\sqrt{2})(5+\sqrt{2})  } ← expand denominator using aFOIL

= \frac{5+\sqrt{2} }{25-2}

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

What is the answer to [(x²+4x)-2]²
Rudik [331]

Answer:

x^{4} + 8x³ + 12x² - 16x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[(x² + 4x) - 2 ]² ← simplify contents of bracket

= (x² + 4x - 2)² = (x² + 4x - 2)(x² + 4x - 2)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x²(x² + 4x - 2) + 4x(x² + 4x - 2) - 2(x² + 4x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis

= x^{4} + 4x³ - 2x² + 4x³ + 16x² - 8x - 2x² - 8x + 4 ← collect like terms

= x^{4} + 8x³ + 12x² - 16x + 4
