Exercise 1.3
Question 1.

Find which of the variables x, y, z and u represent rational numbers and which irrational numbers:

(i) x2 = 5 (ii) y2 = 9

(iii) z2 = .04 (iv) 𝑢2 = 17/4


Answer:

(i) x2 = 5


On taking square root on both sides, we get


⇒ x = ± √5


So, x is an irrational number.


(ii) y2 = 9


On taking square root on both sides, we get


⇒ y = ± 3


So, y is a rational number.


(iii) z2 = .04


On taking square root on both sides, we get


⇒ z = ± 0.2


So, z is a rational number.



On taking square root on both sides, we get



So, u is an irrational number because √17 is irrational.

Exercise 1.4
Question 1.

Express in the form , where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0.


Answer:

Let x = 0.6

Multiply by 10 on both sides,


10x = 6


x = 6/10


x = 3/5


So, the p/q form of 0.6 = 3/5


Let y =


Multiply by 10 on both sides,


10y =


10y – y = -


= 7.7777777……. – 0.7777777…………..


9y = 7


y = 7/9


So the p/q form of = 7/9


Let z =


Multiply by 10 on both sides,


10z =


10z – z = -


= 4.7777777…………. – 0.47777777……………………


9z = 4.2999


z ≈ 4.3/9


z = 43/90


So the p/q form of


= 43/90



=





Question 2.

Simplify


Answer:

Cross Multiplying to make the denominators same








Cross Multiplying again to make the denominators same





Question 3.

If √2 =1.414, √3 =1.732, then find the value of .


Answer:


Cross Multiplying to make the denominators same



Here the denominators form the expansion as


(a + b) × (a – b) = (a2 – b2)


Here a = 3√3


b = 2√2


a2 = (3√3)2


= 27


b2 = (2√2)2


= 8





Question 4.

If , then find the value of


Answer:


We know the standard expansion as,


(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2


Let a = a


b = 1/a











= 9 – 2


= 7



Question 5.

If and , then find the value of x2 + y2.


Answer:


(a + b) 2 = a2 + 2ab + b2


Also x = 1 / y or y = 1/x


Let a = x


b = y


(x + y) 2 = x2 + 2xy + y2


But we know y = 1/x








Here the denominators form the expansion as


(a + b) × (a – b) = (a2 – b2)


Here a = √3


b = √2


a2 = (√3)2


= 3


b2 = (√2)2


= 2



= 102 – 2


= 100-2


= 98
