If x = 5 + 2√6 show that √x + 1/√x = ± 2√3 |
|
Answer» Let : x = 5 + 2√6. Then : x = 3 + 2 + 2√((3)(2)) ∴ x = (√3)² + (√2)² + 2(√3)(√2) = (√3 + √2)² ∴ √x = √3 + √2 ................. (1) ∴ 1/(√x) = 1/(√3 + √2) = 1/(√3 + √2) x (√3 - √2)/(√3 - √2) = (√3 - √2)/ (3 - 2) = √3 - √2 ........... (2) ∴ (√x) + (1/√x) = √3 + √2 + √3 - √2 = 2√3 |
