Question
Can you get a rational number when you compute the product of two surds Justify answer with an example
Solution
Yes, the product of two surds will give a rational number.
Example:
(a) `sqrt(125) xx sqrt(45) = sqrt(25 xx 5) xx sqrt(9 xx 5) = 5sqrt(5) xx 3sqrt(5)` = 15 × 5 = 75
(b) `sqrt(150) xx sqrt(6) = sqrt(25 xx 6) xx sqrt(6) = 5sqrt(6) xx sqrt(6)` = 5 × 6 = 30
