Whenever you have fractional powers where the denominator is even, by DEFINITION, you only consider the positive solution.

Work these out with neighbour. Simplify as much as possible.We’ll feed back in a few minutes.

Expansion involving Surds
(2+√8 ) (7−√2 )=10+12√2?
It’s convention that the number inside the surd is as small as possible, or the expression as simple as possible. This sometimes helps us to further manipulate larger expressions.

Simplifying Surds
Here’s a surd. What could we multiply it by such that it’s no longer an irrational number?
? ?
Rationalising Denominators
In this fraction, the denominator is irrational. ‘Rationalising the denominator’ means making the denominator a rational number.
What could we multiply this fraction by to both rationalise the denominator, but leave the value of the fraction unchanged?
? ?
There’s two reasons why we might want to do this:1. For aesthetic reasons, it makes more sense to say “half of root 2” rather
than “one root two-th of 1”. It’s nice to divide by something whole!2. It makes it easier for us to add expressions involving surds.

Rationalising Denominators
What is the value of the following. What is significant about the result?
This would suggest we can use the difference of two squares to rationalise certain expressions.
What would we multiply the following by to make it rational?
