Question 2.

State which of the following are surds. Justify.

i.  ii. 

iii.  iv. 

v.  vi. 


Answer:

Surds are numbers left in root form (√) to express its exact value. It has an infinite number of non-recurring decimals. Therefore, surds are irrational numbers.


Therefore,


i.


It is a surd ∵ it cannot be expressed as a rational number.


ii.


It is a surd ∵ it cannot be expressed as a rational number.


iii.


It is a surd ∵ it cannot be expressed as a rational number.


iv.√256 = √162 = 16


It is not a surd ∵ it is a rational number.


v.


It is not a surd ∵ it is a rational number.


vi. 


It is a surd ∵ it cannot be expressed as a rational number.



Question 3.

Classify the given pair of surds into like surds and unlike surds.

i. √52, 5√13

ii. √68, 5√3

iii. 4√18, 7√2

iv. 19√12, 6√3

v. 5√22, 7√33

vi. 5√5, √75


Answer:

Two or more surds are said to be similar or like surds if they have the same surd-factor.


And,


Two or more surds are said to be dissimilar or unlike when they are not similar.


Therefore,


i. √52, 5√13


√52 = √(2×2×13) = 2√13


5√13


∵ both surds have same surd-factor i.e., √13.


∴ they are like surds.


ii. √68, 5√3


√68 = √(2×2×17) = 2√17


5√3


∵ both surds have different surd-factors √17 and √3.


∴ they are unlike surds.


iii. 4√18, 7√2


4√18 = 4√(2×3×3) = 4×3√2 = 12√2


7√2


∵ both surds have same surd-factor i.e., √2.


∴ they are like surds.


iv. 19√12, 6√3


19√12 = 19√(2×2×3) = 19×2√3 = 38√3


6√3


∵ both surds have same surd-factor i.e., √3.


∴ they are like surds.


v. 5√22, 7√33


∵ both surds have different surd-factors √22 and √33.


∴ they are unlike surds.


vi. 5√5, √75


5√5


√75 = √(5×5×3) = 5√3


∵ both surds have different surd-factors √5 and √3.


∴ they are unlike surds.

Answer:

i. 7√2 , 5√3


(7√2)2 = 7 × 7 × √2 × √2


⇒ (7√2)2 = 49 × 2


⇒ (7√2)2 = 98


And


(5√3)2 = 5 × 5 × √3 × √3


⇒ (5√3)2 = 25 × 3


⇒ (5√3)2 = 75


Clearly,


98 > 75


∴ 7√2 > 5√3


ii. √247, √274


(√247)2 = 247


And


(√274)2 = 274


Clearly,


247 < 274


∴ √247 < √274


iii. 2√7, √28


(2√7)2 = 2 × 2 × √7 × √7


⇒ (2√7)2 = 4 × 7


⇒ (2√7)2 = 28


And


(√28)2 = 28


Clearly,


28 = 28


∴ 2√7 = √28


iv. 5√5, 7√2


(5√5)2 = 5 × 5 × √5 × √5


⇒ (5√5)2 = 25 × 5


⇒ (5√5)2 = 125


And


(7√2)2 = 7 × 7 × √2 × √2


⇒ (7√2)2 = 49 × 2


⇒ (7√2)2 = 98


Clearly,


125 = 98


∴ 5√5= 7√2


v. 4√42, 9√2


(4√42)2 = 4 × 4 × √42 × √42


⇒ (4√42)2 = 16 × 42


⇒ (4√42)2 = 672


And


(9√2)2 = 9 × 9 × √2 × √2


⇒ (9√2)2 = 81 × 2


⇒ (9√2)2 = 162


Clearly,


672 > 162


∴ 4√42 > 9√2


vi. 5√3, 9


(5√3)2 = 5 × 5 × √3 × √3


⇒ (5√3)2 = 25 × 3


⇒ (5√3)2 = 75


And


(9)2 = 9 × 9


⇒ (9)2 = 81


Clearly,


75 < 81


∴ 5√3 < 9


vii. 7, 2√5


(2√5)2 = 2 × 2 × √5 × √5


⇒ (2√5)2 = 4 × 5


⇒ (2√5)2 = 20


And


(7)2 = 7 × 7


⇒ (7)2 = 49


Clearly,


49 > 20


∴ 7 > 2√5



Question 6.

Simplify.

i. 5√3 + 8√3

ii. 9√5 – 4√5 + √125

iii. 7√48 – √27 – √3

iv. 


Answer:

i. 5√3 + 8√3


5√3 + 8√3 = (5 + 8)√3


⇒ 5√3 + 8√3 = 13√3


ii. 9√5 – 4√5 + √125


9√5 – 4√5 + √125 = 9√5 – 4√5 + √(5 × 5 × 5)


⇒ 9√5 – 4√5 + √125 = 9√5 – 4√5 + √(5 × 5 × 5)


⇒ 9√5 – 4√5 + √125 = 9√5 – 4√5 + 5√5


⇒ 9√5 – 4√5 + √125 = (9 – 4 + 5)√5


⇒ 9√5 – 4√5 + √125 = 10√5


iii. 7√48 – √27 – √3


7√48 – √27 – √3 = 7√(2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3) – √(3 × 3 × 3) – √3


⇒ 7√48 – √27 – √3 = 7×4√3 – 3√3 – √3


⇒ 7√48 – √27 – √3 = 28√3 – 3√3 – √3


⇒ 7√48 – √27 – √3 = (28 – 3 – 1)√3


⇒ 7√48 – √27 – √3 = 24√3


iv.
