What is a Surd ?
These roots have exact values and are called rational
These roots do NOT have exact values and are called irrational OR

Adding & Subtracting Surds
To add or subtract surds such as 2, treat as a single object.
Eg.
Note :
√2 + √3 does not
equal √5

Simplifying Surds
Some square roots can be simplified by using this rule -
12
To simplify 12 we must split 12 into factors with at least one being a square number.
= 4 x 3
Now simplify the square root.
= 2 3

Have a go -
You need to look for square numbers
45 = 9 x 5= 35
32= 16 x 2= 42
72= 4 x 18
= 2 x 9 x 2= 2 x 3 x 2= 62

Rationalising Surds
Remember fractions –
Fractions can contain surds in the numerator, denominator or both:
1 Numerator
2 Denominator

Conjugate Pairs.
This is a conjugate pair. The brackets are identical apart from the
sign in each bracket .Multiplying out the brackets we get :
When the brackets are multiplied out the surds ALWAYS cancel out leaving a rational expression
5 x 5 - 2 5 + 2 5- 4 = 5 - 4
= 1
(5 + 2)(5 - 2)

Trial and Improvement
A method which involves making a guess and then systematically improving it until you reach the answer
Eg. x 2 + 5 = 24 What is x?Make an initial guess, maybe x = 3Try it and then keep improving the guess

Trial and Improvement
Try Working Outx2 + 5
Result
x = 3 32 + 5 = 14 Too small
x = 4 42 + 5 = 21 Too small
x = 5 52 + 5 = 30 Too big
17/04/23 25
x = 4.5 4.52 + 5 = 25.25 Too big
x = 4.4 4.42 + 5 = 24.36 Too big
x = 4.3 4.32 + 5 = 23.49 Too small

Trial and Improvement
There is an answer between 4.3 and 4.4
So x= 4.36 to 2 dp
17/04/23 26
x = 4.35 4.352 + 5 = 23.9225 Too small
x = 4.36 4.362 + 5 = 24.0096 Too big
