Question
If $\sqrt{2}=1.414$ then $\sqrt{\frac{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)}{\big(\sqrt{2}+1\big)}}=?$
✓
Answer
- 0.414
Solution:
$\sqrt{\frac{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)}{\big(\sqrt{2}+1\big)}}=\sqrt{\frac{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)}{\big(\sqrt{2}+1\big)}\times\frac{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)}{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)^2}{\big(\sqrt{2}\big)^2-(1)^2}}$
$=\sqrt{\frac{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)^2}{1}}$
$=\sqrt{\big(\sqrt{2}-1\big)^2}$
$=\sqrt{2}-1$
$=1.414-1$
$=0.414$
Hence, the correct option is (c).
