Find the Value Find the value upto three decimal places If \[ \sqrt{2} = 1.414 \] Find: \[ \sqrt{6} – \sqrt{3} \] (a) 0.235 \quad (b) 0.717 \quad (c) 1.414 \quad (d) 0.471 Solution: \[ \sqrt{6} = \sqrt{2 \times 3} = \sqrt{2}\sqrt{3} \] \[ \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732 \] \[ \sqrt{6} = 1.414 \times 1.732 = […]

Find the Value Find the value If \[ \sqrt{2} = 1.4142,\ \text{then} \quad \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{2} – 1}{\sqrt{2} + 1}} \] (a) 0.1718 \quad (b) 5.8282 \quad (c) 0.4142 \quad (d) 2.4142 Solution: \[ \frac{\sqrt{2} – 1}{\sqrt{2} + 1} \times \frac{\sqrt{2} – 1}{\sqrt{2} – 1} = \frac{(\sqrt{2} – 1)^2}{2 – 1} \] \[ = (\sqrt{2} – 1)^2

Simplify Surd Find the value \[ \sqrt{5 + 2\sqrt{6}} \] (a) \(\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2}\) \quad (b) \(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}\) \quad (c) \(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{6}\) \quad (d) none of these Solution: \[ \sqrt{5 + 2\sqrt{6}} = \sqrt{a} + \sqrt{b} \] \[ (\sqrt{a} + \sqrt{b})^2 = a + b + 2\sqrt{ab} \] \[ a + b =

Simplify Surd Find the value \[ \sqrt{3 – 2\sqrt{2}} \] (a) \(\sqrt{2} – 1\) \quad (b) \(\sqrt{2} + 1\) \quad (c) \(\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2}\) \quad (d) \(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}\) Solution: \[ \sqrt{3 – 2\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{a} – \sqrt{b} \] \[ (\sqrt{a} – \sqrt{b})^2 = a + b – 2\sqrt{ab} \] \[ a + b =

Find the Value Find the value If \[ x = \sqrt[3]{2 + \sqrt{3}} \] (a) 2 \quad (b) 4 \quad (c) 8 \quad (d) 9 Solution: \[ x^3 = 2 + \sqrt{3} \] \[ \frac{1}{x^3} = \frac{1}{2 + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{2 – \sqrt{3}}{2 – \sqrt{3}} = 2 – \sqrt{3} \] \[ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^3} =
