Title Surds Manipulation Author - Date 31/12/2022 Basic Surds Rules to Understand before Proceeding Given the following expression can be written in the following form 𝑔√𝑎𝑏2 It can be rewritten as the following 𝑔𝑏√𝑎 Example 1.1 √8 can be decomposed into the following √2 × 4 Since 4 = 22, we can rewrite in the following manner: 2√2 Law of Surds (Only involving square roots) √𝑎 × √𝑏 = √𝑎𝑏 𝑎√𝑏 × 𝑐√𝑑 = 𝑎𝑐(√𝑏𝑑) √𝑎2 = 𝑎 √𝑎 √𝑏 = √𝑎 𝑏 𝑚√𝑎 + 𝑛√𝑎 = √𝑎(𝑚 + 𝑛) 𝑚√𝑎 − 𝑛√𝑎 = √𝑎 (𝑚 − 𝑛) Rules of rationalizing the denominator in surds calculation and manipulation Rule 1 If expression is in the following form 𝑎 𝑔√𝑏 Multiply by the denominator to both numerator and denominator to get the following 𝑎 𝑔√𝑏 × 𝑔√𝑏 𝑔√𝑏
Rule 2. If the expression is in the following form or show some near resemblance to the following form 𝑎 + 𝑔√𝑏 𝑐 − 𝑑√𝑝 Find the conjugate value of the denominator whereby the sign in between 𝑐 − 𝑑√𝑝 is flipped to positive and multiply conjugate value to both numerator and denominator to get the following 𝑎 + 𝑔√𝑏 𝑐 − 𝑑√𝑝 × 𝑐 + 𝑑√𝑝 𝑐 + 𝑑√𝑝 Rule 3. If the expression is in the following form or show some near resemblance to the following form 𝑎 + 𝑔√𝑏 𝑐 + 𝑑√𝑝 Find the conjugate value of the denominator whereby the sign in between 𝑐 + 𝑑√𝑝 is flipped to negative and multiply conjugate value to both numerator and denominator to get the following 𝑎 + 𝑔√𝑏 𝑐 + 𝑑√𝑝 × 𝑐 − 𝑑√𝑝 𝑐 − 𝑑√𝑝 Question 1. 1.1 Simplify the following expression (a) 11√7 + 6√28 − 5√63 (b) (4√3 − √2)(√3 − 5√2)
(a) 11√7 + 6√28 − 5√63 Rewrite as 11√7 + 6√7 × 4 − 5√9 × 7 Once again can be rewritten as 11√7 + 6(2)√7 − 5(3)√7 We then proceed to simplify the expression as (11 + 12 − 15)√7 = 8√7 (b) (4√3 − √2)(√3 − 5√2) Expand the expression into the following 4√3(√3) − √2 (√3) − 5√(2)(4√3) + 5√2(√2) 4(3) − √6 − 20√6 + 5(2) = 12 + 10 − √6 − 20√6 = 22 − 21√6 1.2 Rationalize the denominator of the following (a) 12 √3 (b) 2−√7 3+4√7 (c) 1 3−√5 Solutions (a) 12 √3 × √3 √3 = 12√3 3 = 4√3 (b) 2−√7 3+4√7 × 3−4√7 3−4√7 = (2−√7)(3−4√7) (3+4√7)(
