Starter:On your sheet the surds on the left are equal to the right hand
side.
Look at all 6 of them and make sure that you understand why.
Then use the small pieces in the plastic wallets to make
mathematical sentences.e.g. = 2
= x)

Starting You Thinking
• Answer the following giving answers a simplified surds.
• Find the distance between the coordinates (2,5) and (-2,3)
• In an isosceles triangle two sides are 20 and the other is 10. What is the
height? What is its area?

Rationalising Denominators
Aim: To be able to rationalise denominators of the form √a ;
(1 +/- √a) or (√a +/- √b)
![Page 17: AS Maths Core 1 Which is the odd one out?](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081419/56649ef65503460f94c09505/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rule: Your final answer cannot contain a surd in the denominator!

Let’s take a look at an example where we will be left with a radical in the denominator…
Example
Since there is a radical in the denominator (bottom) of the fraction, we must multiply by the conjugate in order to rationalise the denominator.

expression changes

We were at this step…
Now, let’s look back at that last example & rationalise the denominatorExample (Cont’d…)
We must multiply the TOP and BOTTOM by the
conjugate to rationalise the denominator!
(get the surd out of the bottom)

Difference of 2 squares.
)63)(63( This is a conjugate pair. The brackets are identical apart from the sign in each bracket .
Now observe what happens when the brackets are multiplied out:
)63)(63( = 3 X 3 - 6 3 + 6 3 - 36
= 3 - 36
= -33
When the brackets are multiplied out the surds cancel out and we end up seeing that the expression is rational . This result is used throughout the following slide.
