Question
$\frac{1}{\sqrt9-\sqrt8}$ is equal to:
✓
Answer
- $3+2\sqrt2$
Solution:
$\frac{1}{\sqrt9-\sqrt8}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt9-\sqrt8}\times\frac{{\sqrt9+\sqrt8}}{{\sqrt9+\sqrt8}}$
$\frac{{\sqrt9+\sqrt8}}{\big(\sqrt9\big)^2-\big(\sqrt8\big)^2}$
$=\frac{{\sqrt9+\sqrt8}}{9-8}$
$={\sqrt9+\sqrt8}$
$=3+2\sqrt2$
Hence, correct option is (a).
