Rationalise the denominators of the following:
(i) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{7 }}\)
(ii) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{7 }-\sqrt6}\)
(iii) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{5}+\sqrt2}\)
(iv) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{7}-2}\)
(i) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{7 }}\) =\(\frac{1}{\sqrt7}=\frac{1}{\sqrt7} ×\frac{ √7 }{√7}\)
= \(\frac{ √7 }{√7}\)
(ii) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{7 }-\sqrt6}\)
\(= \frac{1}{ (√7 + √6)} ×\frac{(√7 - √6)}{(√7 + √6)}\)
= \(\frac{(√7 - √6)}{7 - 6}=\sqrt7+\sqrt6\)
(iii) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{7}-2}\)
\(\frac{\sqrt5+\sqrt2}{3}\)
(iv) \(\frac{1 }{ \sqrt{7}-2}\)
\(=\frac{\sqrt7+2}{7-2}=\frac{\sqrt7+2}{3}\)
For real number a, b (a > b > 0), let
\(\text{{Area}} \left\{ (x, y) : x^2 + y^2 \leq a^2 \text{{ and }} \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} \geq 1 \right\} = 30\pi\)
and
\(\text{{Area}} \left\{ (x, y) : x^2 + y^2 \geq b^2 \text{{ and }} \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} \leq 1 \right\} = 18\pi\)
Then the value of (a – b)2 is equal to _____.
Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational:
(i) \(2 - \sqrt5\)
(ii) \((3 + \sqrt23) - \sqrt23\)
(iii) \(\frac{2 \sqrt{7}} { 7 \sqrt7}\)
(iv) \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
(v) 2π
(i) The kind of person the doctor is (money, possessions)
(ii) The kind of person he wants to be (appearance, ambition)
ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠ DAB = ∠ CBA (see Fig. 7.17). Prove that
