Simplify sqrt 48 - frac 9 sqrt 3 sqrt 75 - JAMB Mathematics 1994 Question
Simplify \(\sqrt{48}\) - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\) + \(\sqrt{75}\)
A
5√3
B
6√3
C
8√3
D
18√3
correct option: b
\(\sqrt{48}\) - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\) + \(\sqrt{75}\)
Rearrange = \(\sqrt{48}\) + \(\sqrt{75}\) - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= (√16 x √3) + (√25 x √3) - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\)
=4√3 + 5√3 - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Rationalize \(\to\) 9√3 = \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\) x \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{9}}\) - \(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= 3√3
Rearrange = \(\sqrt{48}\) + \(\sqrt{75}\) - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= (√16 x √3) + (√25 x √3) - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\)
=4√3 + 5√3 - \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\)
Rationalize \(\to\) 9√3 = \(\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}\) x \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= \(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{9}}\) - \(\frac{9\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
= 3√3
