I am having some trouble with square roots. I have been trying lots to solve these problems, but I just can't get it!!! Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

 

Here are the questions:

 

1. (square root of 2 - square root of three)

 

2. (3 square root of five -  2 square root of three) x (3 square root of five - 2 square root of three)

 

3. Write the least and the greatest in this set of numbers.

           5 square root of 7

           3 square root of 7

           4 square root of 7

           square root of 7

           6 square root of 7

 

 

Any help is truly appreciated!!! Thank you!!! laugh

First question:

\(\sqrt2 - \sqrt 3\\ = \dfrac{2-3}{\sqrt2+\sqrt3}\\ = -\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2 + \sqrt 3}\\ \text{I think your teacher wants you to do this.}\)

Second question:

\((3\sqrt5-2\sqrt3)(3\sqrt5-2\sqrt3)\\ = 45 - 12\sqrt{15}+12\\ = 57-12\sqrt{15}\)

Third: Greatest = 6sqrt7, Least = sqrt7

Reason: It is because sqrt7 is a positive number. If you use a greater positive number to multiply it, the product would be greater. Therefore 6sqrt7 is the greatest and sqrt7 is the least.
