To rationalise this number
- We just try to remove the square root from the denominator.
- So, if we multiply and divide by square root of 7... then

Example 16
If a and b are rational numbers and (√11 − √7)/(√11 + √7) = a – b√77, find the value of a and b
Example 17
Find the values of a and b if (7 + 3√5)/(3 + √5) – (7 − 3√5)/(3 − √5) = a+√5 b
Ex 1.4, 5 (i)
If x = 1/(2 − √3), find the value of x^3 − 2x^2 − 7x + 5
