MCQ
$\big(-2-\sqrt{3}\big)\big(-2+\sqrt{3}\big)$ when simplified is:
- Apositive and irrational.
- ✓positive and rational.
- Cnegative and irrational.
- Dnegative and rational.
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
positive and rational.
$\big(-2-\sqrt{3}\big)\big(-2+\sqrt{3}\big)$
$\big(-2\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2$
$=4-3=1,$ which is positive and rational number.
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b)$.
$\big(-2\big)^2-\big(\sqrt{3}\big)^2$
$=4-3=1,$ which is positive and rational number.
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b)$.
