\[\frac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } +1 } =\quad a+b\sqrt { 2 } \quad then\quad find\quad the\quad value\quad of\quad a\quad and\quad b. \]
Can ANyONe SOlVe It??
@UnkleRhaukus
ok lets look at the left hand side first
okay! carry on!!
\[LHS=\frac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } +1 } \] \[=\frac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } +1 } \times1\] \[=\frac { \sqrt { 2 } -1 }{ \sqrt { 2 } +1 } \times\frac{\sqrt 2-1}{\sqrt 2-1}\]
simplify
hmm....
Hey always if the denominator is a number, then it is for us to solve it. So first try to do that. If a square root exists in the denominator try to make it a number. Now think we've a sqrt her...so shd square it without changing the fraction......option is that use (a+b)(a-b)=aa-b2
\[=\frac {( \sqrt { 2 } -1)(\sqrt 2-1) }{ (\sqrt { 2 } +1 )(\sqrt 2-1)} \]
say a+b is there in the denominator, multiply the fraction i.e both numerator and denom woth a-b. So in denom it'll be a2-b2......Solved
ok
hmmmmm...
what are you getting for the numerator and denominator ?
m confused
\[( \sqrt { 2 } -1)(\sqrt 2-1) =\] \[{ (\sqrt { 2 } +1 )(\sqrt 2-1)}=\]
A^2- b^2
UNKLE GIVE the solution
Thanks mathy
got it ? ?
thanks
given is in the form (a-b)/(a+b)..... multiply with a-b to numerator & denom it becomes (a-b)2/(a2-b2)........read a2=Square of a substitute the values of a and b in this problem to get the answer
welcome
Indian gods
Correct.... not Indian Gods but only Gods. These gods an worshipped all over world
cool!!
@mathslover how a= 3 &b = -2
compare both eqn.
