MCQ
$(5+\sqrt{8})+(3-\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2}-6)$ is:
- ✓Positive and irrational.
- BNegative and rational.
- CPositive and rational.
- DNegative and irrational.
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
Positive and irrational.
$(5+\sqrt{8})+(3-\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2}-6)$
$=(5+2\sqrt{2})+(3\sqrt{2}-18-2+6\sqrt{2})$
$=(5+2\sqrt{2})+(9\sqrt{2}-20)$
$=11\sqrt{2}-15$
And we know that the value of $11\sqrt{2}$ is greater than $15$ so it's value will be positive,
And also sum or differences of rational and irrational is irrational.
