(a) If x gt a, y gt b and x + y = a + b,...

(a) If `x gt a, y gt b and x + y = a + b`, then find which one of `(sqrtx + sqrty) and (sqrta + sqrtb)` is greater ?
(b) Which one of the two `(sqrt21 + sqrt11) and (2sqrt5 + 2 sqrt3)` is greater ?
(c) Which one is greater `root(3)(4) and root(4)(5)` ?
(d) Find the greatest and least numbers : `2 sqrt2, 3 root(3)(2), 2 root(4)(3), 2 root(6)(7)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) `(sqrtx + sqrty)` is greater, (b) `(2 sqrt5 + 2 sqrt3)` is greater, (c) Greatest `= root(3)(4)`, (d) Greatest `= 3 root(3)(2)`, least `= 2 root(4)(3)`
