Question
Rationales the denominator and simplify:$\frac{\sqrt3-\sqrt2}{\sqrt3+\sqrt2}$

Answer

$\frac{\sqrt3-\sqrt2}{\sqrt3+\sqrt2}$Rationalizing the denominator by multiplying both numerator and denominator with the rationalizing factor $\sqrt3-\sqrt2$
$=\frac{\big(\sqrt3-\sqrt2\big)\big(\sqrt3-\sqrt2\big)}{\big(\sqrt3+\sqrt2\big)\big(\sqrt3-\sqrt2\big)}$
As we know, $(\text{a}-\text{b})(\text{a}-\text{b})=(\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2)$
$=\frac{\big(\sqrt3-\sqrt2\big)^2}{3-2}$
As we know, $(\text{a}-\text{b})^2=(\text{a}^2-2\times\text{a}\times\text{b}+\text{b}^2)$
$=\frac{3-2\sqrt3\sqrt2+2}{1}=5-2\sqrt6$

We have seen the example of expenditure and income (in terms of polynomials) of Govind who is a dry land farmer. He has borrowed rupees one lakh twenty-five thousand from the bank as an agriculture loan and repaid the said loan at 10 p.c.p.a.
He had spent ₹ 10,000 on seeds. The expenses on soyabean crop was ₹ 2000x for fertilizers and pesticides and ₹ $4000 x^2$ was spent on wages and cultivation. He spent $₹ 8000 y$ on fertilizers and pesticides and $₹ 9000 y^2$ on cultivation and wages for cotton and tur crop.
His total income was
$\text { ₹ }\left(14000 x^2+\frac{25000}{3} y^2+16000 y\right)$
By taking $x=2, y=3$ write the income expenditure account of Govind's farming.
