Question
Can you get a rational number when you compute the quotient of two surds Justify answer with an example
Solution
Yes, The quotient of two surds will give a rational number.
Example:
(a) `sqrt(32) ÷ sqrt(8) = sqrt(8 xx 4)/sqrt(8) = sqrt(4)` = 2
(b) `sqrt(50) ÷ sqrt(2) = sqrt(25 xx 2)/sqrt(2) = sqrt(25)` = 5
