Finding Square Root of a Number

Simplify: 5-√...

Question

Simplify: $\frac{5 - \sqrt{10}}{5 + \sqrt{10}} - \frac{5 + \sqrt{10}}{5 - \sqrt{10}}$
$[5]$

Open in App

Solution

$\frac{5 - \sqrt{10}}{5 + \sqrt{10}} - \frac{5 + \sqrt{10}}{5 - \sqrt{10}}$

Multiplying both numerator and denominator by the rationalising factor of the denominators, we have

$= \frac{5 - \sqrt{10}}{5 + \sqrt{10}} \times \frac{5 - \sqrt{10}}{5 - \sqrt{10}} - \frac{5 + \sqrt{10}}{5 - \sqrt{10}} \times \frac{5 + \sqrt{10}}{5 + \sqrt{10}}$
$[2]$
$= \frac{(5 - \sqrt{10})^{2}}{25 - \sqrt{(10)^{2}}} - \frac{(5 + \sqrt{10})^{2}}{25 - \sqrt{(10)^{2}}}$

$= \frac{25 - 10 \sqrt{10} + 10}{15} - \frac{25 + 10 \sqrt{10} + 10}{15}$
$[2]$
$= \frac{25 - 10 \sqrt{10} + 10 - 25 - 10 \sqrt{10} - 10}{15}$

$= - \frac{20 \sqrt{10}}{15}$

$= - \frac{4}{3} \sqrt{10}$
$[1]$
