solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it? \[2 \sqrt{45} + \frac{3 \sqrt{20}}{2 \sqrt{5}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your question is not very clear to me(or us probably).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i understand, after simplifying, we have show is it rational or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you make prime factorization of 45??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like: \[50 = 5 \times 5 \times 2\] Like this, can you do it for 45?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes 3*3*5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So can you tell? \[\sqrt{3 \times 3 \times 5} = ??\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

root 45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean what will come out of the square root brackets?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 root 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Similarly can you do it for 20?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 root5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so me getting answer =6root5+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its rational or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, now we are left with: \[2 \times 3\sqrt{5} + \frac{3 \times 2 \sqrt{5}}{2 \sqrt{5}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep... What do you think? \(3 + 6 \sqrt{5}\) will be rational or irrational?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank u @waterineyes
