(i) Answer. 2.3093
Solution. Given:
Rationalising,
(Given that )
= 2.3093
Hence the answer is 2.3093
(ii) Answer. 2.449
Solution. Given:
Rationalising,
Putting the given values,
We get :
Hence the answer is 2.449
(iii) Answer. 0.462852
Solution. Given that
This can be written as
Now putting the given values,
We get :
= 0.462852
Hence the answer is 0.462852
(iv) Answer. 0.414
Solution. Given:
Rationalising,
Using (a – b) (a + b) = a2 – b2
Putting the given value of
We get
= 1.414 – 1
= 0.414
Hence the answer is 0.414
(v) Answer. 0.318
Solution. Given that
Rationalising,
Using (a – b) (a + b) = a2 – b2
Putting the given values,
We get,
= 1.732 – 1.414
= 0.318
Hence the answer is 0.318
