Thread: Surd and Algebra Questions

Hi I am in year 10 and in the highest math class. We just started revising on surds and I have not been able to answer these two questions. The questions that I am stuck on are 3e and 3i. Sorry about the mirrored writing. Any help will be appreciated.

See if you can follow a similar process with the others.

Thankyou but can you please tell me how to do 3i? I have tried it but my pro numerals have had the wrong powers.

Show us what you have done then...

{} Is the square root sign. ' is to the power of. Sorry I don't know how to do the actual symbols.

6{162 c'7 d'5}
6{81x2xc'7xd'5}
6{ 81 x 2 x c'4 x c'3 x d'4 x d }
6{81 x c'4 x d'4} x {2 x c'3 x d}
54 c'2 d'2 x {2 x c'3 x d}

The answer is meant to be 54 c'3 d'2 x {2 x c x d}
