The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems step by step, we will rationalize the denominators and express the results in the form \(a + b\sqrt{c}\). ### (i) \(\frac{3 + \sqrt{2}}{3 - \sqrt{2}} = a + b\sqrt{2}\) **Step 1: Rationalize the denominator.** Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{(3 + \sqrt{2})(3 + \sqrt{2})}{(3 - \sqrt{2})(3 + \sqrt{2})} \] **Step 2: Simplify the numerator and denominator.** - Numerator: \[ (3 + \sqrt{2})^2 = 3^2 + 2 \cdot 3 \cdot \sqrt{2} + (\sqrt{2})^2 = 9 + 6\sqrt{2} + 2 = 11 + 6\sqrt{2} \] - Denominator: \[ (3 - \sqrt{2})(3 + \sqrt{2}) = 3^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2 = 9 - 2 = 7 \] So, we have: \[ \frac{11 + 6\sqrt{2}}{7} \] **Step 3: Separate the terms.** \[ \frac{11}{7} + \frac{6\sqrt{2}}{7} \] **Step 4: Identify \(a\) and \(b\).** Comparing with \(a + b\sqrt{2}\): - \(a = \frac{11}{7}\) - \(b = \frac{6}{7}\) ### (ii) \(\frac{\sqrt{2} + 1}{\sqrt{2} - 1} = a - b\sqrt{2}\) **Step 1: Rationalize the denominator.** Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{(\sqrt{2} + 1)(\sqrt{2} + 1)}{(\sqrt{2} - 1)(\sqrt{2} + 1)} \] **Step 2: Simplify the numerator and denominator.** - Numerator: \[ (\sqrt{2} + 1)^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 + 2 \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot 1 + 1^2 = 2 + 2\sqrt{2} + 1 = 3 + 2\sqrt{2} \] - Denominator: \[ (\sqrt{2} - 1)(\sqrt{2} + 1) = (\sqrt{2})^2 - 1^2 = 2 - 1 = 1 \] So, we have: \[ 3 + 2\sqrt{2} \] **Step 3: Identify \(a\) and \(b\).** Comparing with \(a - b\sqrt{2}\): - \(a = 3\) - \(b = -2\) ### (iii) \(\frac{5 + 4\sqrt{3}}{5 - 4\sqrt{3}} = a - b\sqrt{3}\) **Step 1: Rationalize the denominator.** Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{(5 + 4\sqrt{3})(5 + 4\sqrt{3})}{(5 - 4\sqrt{3})(5 + 4\sqrt{3})} \] **Step 2: Simplify the numerator and denominator.** - Numerator: \[ (5 + 4\sqrt{3})^2 = 5^2 + 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 4\sqrt{3} + (4\sqrt{3})^2 = 25 + 40\sqrt{3} + 48 = 73 + 40\sqrt{3} \] - Denominator: \[ (5 - 4\sqrt{3})(5 + 4\sqrt{3}) = 5^2 - (4\sqrt{3})^2 = 25 - 48 = -23 \] So, we have: \[ \frac{73 + 40\sqrt{3}}{-23} = -\frac{73}{23} - \frac{40\sqrt{3}}{23} \] **Step 3: Identify \(a\) and \(b\).** Comparing with \(a - b\sqrt{3}\): - \(a = -\frac{73}{23}\) - \(b = \frac{40}{23}\) ### Summary of Results: 1. \(a = \frac{11}{7}, b = \frac{6}{7}\) 2. \(a = 3, b = -2\) 3. \(a = -\frac{73}{23}, b = \frac{40}{23}\)

To solve the given problems step by step, we will rationalize the denominators and express the results in the form \(a + b\sqrt{c}\). ### (i) \(\frac{3 + \sqrt{2}}{3 - \sqrt{2}} = a + b\sqrt{2}\) **Step 1: Rationalize the denominator.** Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{(3 + \sqrt{2})(3 + \sqrt{2})}{(3 - \sqrt{2})(3 + \sqrt{2})} ...
