Show that the square to `(sqrt(26-15))//(5sqrt(2)-sqrt(38-5sqrt(3)))`is a rational number. |

Answer» Correct Answer - `3` `5sqrt(2) - sqrt(38 + 5sqrt(3)) = 5sqrt(2) - (1)/(sqrt(2)) sqrt(76 + 2 sqrt(75))` `= 5sqrt(2) - (1)/(sqrt(2)) -(sqrt(75) + 1) = (sqrt(3)(3sqrt(3) - 5))/(sqrt(2))` `:. (sqrt(26 - 15sqrt(3)))/(5sqrt(2) - sqrt(38 + 5 sqrt(3))) = (sqrt(52 - 30sqrt(3)))/(sqrt(3)(3sqrt(3) - 5))` `= (3sqrt(3) - 6)/(sqrt(3)(3sqrt(3)-5)) = (1)/(sqrt(3))` so `p = 1 q = 3` |
