<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}

20 is what percent of 50? A. 40% B. 10% C. 250% D. 30%
zvonat [6]
<span>A is the correct answer. To find 10% of 50, divide it by 10. This gives you 5. If 5 is 10%, then 20 is 40%, because 20 is 4 x 5 and 40 is 4 x 10. </span>
