if I should use 3x3 method will I arrive at the same anshuh
U can't use 3*3 method just like that. You know in 3*3 method, when you take out each term, u will multiply it by remaining 4 terms in the bracket which will be evaluated. You will do something similar to that here. From the 5*5, you will bring out a term and have 4*4 in each bracket and the reduce the 4*4 to 3*3 through the same method and the 3*3 into 2*2 before you solve and get final answer.It could get complex and requires attention. Study what I solved though I am still waiting for agentofchange to come confirm if it is correct.

Solution

let's pick √(25+10√6)

put √p +√q =√(25+10√6)

taking square of both sides , we have

p+q +2√(pq) =25 +10√6

compare both sides to have

p+q =25 ....... B

& √(pq)=5√6......E

take square again from E

=>pq=150.....N

from N, p=150/q

put in B

=>q2 -25q +150=0

solve to obtain q = 10 ,15

=> p =15..(when q=10)
& p=10....(when q=15)

thus , √(25+10√6)= √15+√10

similarly if we pick √(25-10√6 ) we have √15-√10

hence √(25+10√6)+√(25-10√6)=√15+√10+√15-√10=2√15

that's. it man


guess am right
Infact, over correct dey worry your solution. Thumbs up man. That's the answer. Send a PM to get your gift. Your approach was even totally different from mine but we got the same answer. That's the beauty of mathemtics. See mine below;

Happy New Year grin

Wey the price Ooo?
Happy new year to you too. You tried but your approach is wrong. You see, squaroot(a+b) is not the same thing as squaroot(a) + squaroot(b). E.g squaroot (15+10) = squaroot(25)= 5 but squareroot (15) + squaroot (10)= 7.035 which is not the same as 5. Try again.

Surds are very common with respect to mathematical basics and very important as not all roots of numbers can be expressed as entirely whole numbers hence, the reason for the concept of "surds".


Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a simple but trickish question on surds below. The first person to solve it correctly gets a prize. Goodluck!

Thanks man...I should brace up
Yeah, and you have to be very careful at the training school, don't be carried away. You must not score less than 65% in each of numerous courses, you can retake a failed course just once and you must pass it the second time. You also have to follow all instructions strictly particularly during exams because once you err, you would be automatically dismissed and that's the end, they dismiss people at the slightest misconduct and this is not the time to go start dating your classmates, you need concentration. You will enjoy the training, the meals, the fun, outings etc. If you score best in any of the courses, you will get a gift. There are fantastics prizes for overall 1st,2nd and 3rd positions. All the best to you!

grin grin grin so[b] do you agree na ojoro?[/b] Anyway, I like your love for mathematics. Thanks to you guys on this thread... it just had me going back to some basics. There is a method that could have worked. I cant remember but I guess it would be found in Pure Mathematics text book. That small book with red coloured shapes.
Hahahaha. The ojoro wasn't intentional you know? I have some other challenging maths problems which I was able to solve. I will open a thread for it subsequently and attach a prize to it. Nice day!

2sExy1:
Thanks bro. I understand every other process used to arrived at your answer which is mathematically correct but where I am confused is this. can you explain the mathematical principle used here:

You say Let 2^x = P. That's fine. But how is X then = sqrt P? Thanks.
That's what we are saying bro. The rule I used there is wrong.I hurriedly tested it for two values and it worked, so, I didn't bother testing for other values again until mathefero pointed it out. I tested it for values of 2 and 4 . E.g. If 2^(X) = 4, I said X = sqrt 4 = 2 and if 2^ (X) = 16, X = sqrt of 16 = 4. Unfortunately, it was just a coincidence that we got the same answer as the rule is wrong. When you test it with 2 ^ (X) = 8, you know X is supposed to be = 3. If I now say, X = sqrt 8, I won't get 3.So, the rule I used is wrong and we have to find another way to solve that problem.

Cheat code; pls do nt ask me where i gt the law from

2x = 4x,
2x/2 + 22 = 4x,
then, 2x/2 = 4 OR 22 = x..
Whichever way, x = 4 grin

I'm sorry bro, there's still an ojoro in your solution o.
if 2x = p then
x != sqrt(p) ( x is not a square root of p)
you might want to check it out using numbers.
23 = 8 but the sqrt of 8 is not equal to 3. smiles
Yeah, you are right, it should be if X^2 = P, the X = sqrt (P). That was what was on my mind. Although, I tested the rule with values of 2 and 4 and it worked, that was why didn't bother testing with other values again. Thanks for pointing it out. Men, I no go chop today o.

Use the inequality values to obtain some figures. When you plot the graph, if there is no break at all when you are drawing the linem then the function is continuous but if there is a break in the line, the function is not continuous. You can check online for how to go about it, I am sure there would be more than enough materials. If I am free and settled, I may attempt plottiing the graph too (not promising o) but if I do, will let you see it.




Thank you very much. Although we were told to plot a graph with the information, which is what I'm pondering. How will that be possible?

Mr. Naturalwaves.
Could you assist me with this question ?

A function of y={×, ×<_1}
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . {2-×, ×>2}.
Judge whether the function is continuous at ×=1. Differentiable at ×=1.
Thanks for the assistance.
.
I think the function is continuous but not differentiable at x= 1 cos after differenciating f(x) , there was no place to slot in 1 at all as it gave outright figures. Check what I got below and review with colleagues as it has been long I did this.
