Question 3
SurdsIf 5/√2 − √8/8 = m√2, where m is a constant find m.
- A.1½
- B.1¼
- C.2¼
- D.2½
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (2¼)
Explanation
5/√2 = (5/2)√2 and √8/8 = 2√2/8 = (1/4)√2. So m = 5/2 − 1/4 = 9/4 = 2¼.
If 5/√2 − √8/8 = m√2, where m is a constant find m.
Answer: C (2¼)
5/√2 = (5/2)√2 and √8/8 = 2√2/8 = (1/4)√2. So m = 5/2 − 1/4 = 9/4 = 2¼.
