- Surds
- Rule 1
- /ab = /a * /b
- Rule 2
- Square root(a/b) = square root'a' / square root'b'
- Like and unlike surds
- Like surds have the same irrational factor
- Like surds can be collected together
- Unlike surds don't have the same irrational factor
- Unlike surds cannot be collected together
- Like surds have the same irrational factor
- Multiplying surds
- /ab = /a * /b
- (a+b)(c+d) = ac+bc+bd+cd
- 1: Multiply rational factors
- 2: Multiply irrational factors
- 3: Simplify
- 2: Multiply irrational factors
- Rationalising the denominator
- Multiply the top and bottom by the denominator (called the conjugate)
- /a: multiply by /a
- a+/b: multiply by a-/b
- a-/b: multiply by a+/b
- /a+/b: multiply by /a-/b
- /a-/b: multiply by /a+/b
- Multiply the top and bottom by the denominator (called the conjugate)
- Rule 1
