Let us write which one is greater of
and ![]()
Formula used.
(a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
1st value is √7 + 1
Its square is
(√7 + 1)2 = (√7)2 + 12 + 2 × 1 × √7 = 7 + 1 + 2√7 = 8 + 2√7
2nd value is √5 + √3
Its square is
(√5 + √3)2 = (√5)2 + (√3)2 + 2 × √3 × √5 = 5 + 3 + 2√15 = 8 + 2√15
If 7<15
Then √7 < √15
Then 8 + √7 < 8 + √15
Then √(8 + √7) < √(8 + √15)
∴ √7 + 1 < √5 + √3
