Q5 of 76 Page 11

If find the values of a and b.

Given, = a+b√6


Need to find the value of a and b


Now, we can find by rationalizing the denominator


Since, we know to rationalize the denominator of we must multiply the number with its denominator as follows


×


=


we know that numerator is in the form of (a+b)2 = a2+2ab+b2


And denominator in the form of a2–b2 = (a+b)(a–b)



=


= +


a = and b =
