whats the conjugate of \(1+\sqrt{2}\) ?
do you know what conjugate means ? )
\[1-\sqrt{2}\]
good, multiply that top and bottom
\[\dfrac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1+\sqrt{2}}\] \[\dfrac{(1-\sqrt{2})\color{red}{(1-\sqrt{2})}}{(1+\sqrt{2})\color{red}{(1-\sqrt{2})}}\]
I did and got \[\frac{-1-\sqrt{2}}{1+\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{2+2}}\]...wait, I might've done something wrong --\[\frac{3+\sqrt{2}}{2}?\]
nope, you may use the identities : \[(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\] and \[(a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2\]
wha
brb one sec then lol
if you're not familiar with those identities, you may simply multiply the binomials and simplify
you should get : \[\dfrac{1-\sqrt{2}}{1+\sqrt{2}}\] \[\dfrac{(1-\sqrt{2})\color{red}{(1-\sqrt{2})}}{(1+\sqrt{2})\color{red}{(1-\sqrt{2})}}\] \[\dfrac{1-2\sqrt{2}+2}{1-2}\] \[\dfrac{3-2\sqrt{2}}{-1}\] \[-3+2\sqrt{2}\]
okay so I got \[\frac{1-2}{1^{2}-2(1)(\sqrt{2})+\sqrt{2}^{2}}=\frac{-1}{1-2\sqrt{2}+2}=\frac{-1}{3-\sqrt{2}}\]
I mean on the bottom of the last fraction:\[3+2\sqrt{2}\]
what I got it upside down 0-0??
oh I mixed up the formulas whoops
sorry!
yeah looks you have used the wrong identities, thats okay.. try again :)
lol okay, I got this one -- what about the other one o-o
@ganeshie8 I got \[\frac{1^{2}-2(1)(\sin{x})+sin^{2}{x}}{1^{2}-sin^{2}{x}}=\frac{1-2\sin{2}+\sin^{2}{x}}{1-sin^{2}{x}}\]
sinx in second equation*
and the bottom part translates to \[cos^{2}{x}\]
looks good to me !
alright thanks :)
