Math Problem Statement

Express 72+334222\frac{7\sqrt2+3\sqrt3}{4\sqrt2-2\sqrt2},in term of p+qrwhere p,q abd,r,are,rational number\sqrt{r}\,\text{where }p,q\text{ abd,r,are,rational number}

Solution

We are given the expression:

72+334222\frac{7\sqrt{2} + 3\sqrt{3}}{4\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{2}}

First, simplify the denominator:

4222=(42)2=224\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{2} = (4 - 2)\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}

So, the expression becomes:

72+3322\frac{7\sqrt{2} + 3\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}

Now, we can break this into two separate fractions:

7222+3322\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}} + \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}

Let's simplify each fraction separately:

  1. For the first term: 7222=72\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{7}{2}

  2. For the second term: 3322=3232=3232=323×22×2=322\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{3}{2} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{3}{2} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 2}{2 \times 2}} = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}}

Therefore, the expression simplifies to:

72+3223\frac{7}{2} + \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{3}

Express this as p+qrp + q\sqrt{r}:

72+3232\frac{7}{2} + \frac{3}{2}\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}

Thus, the expression in the required form is:

p=72,q=32,r=3p = \frac{7}{2}, q = \frac{3}{2}, r = 3

So, the final expression in the form p+qrp + q\sqrt{r} is:

72+323\frac{7}{2} + \frac{3}{2}\sqrt{3}

This is the simplest form of the given expression.
