Question 1.
Represent √3 on the number line.
Solution:

On the number line, take OA = 1 unit. Draw AB = 1 unit perpendicular to OA. Join OB.
Again, on OB, draw BC = 1 unit perpendicular to OB. Join OC.
By Pythagoras Theorem, we obtain OC = √3. Using
compasses, with centre O and radius OC, draw an arc, which intersects the number line at point
D. Thus, OD = √3 and D corresponds to √3.

Question 2.
Represent √3.2 on the number line.
Solution:
First of all draw a line of length 3.2 units such that AB = 3.2 units. Now, from point B, mark a distance of 1 unit. Let this point be ‘C’. Let ‘O’ be the mid-point of the distance AC. Now, draw a semicircle with centre ‘O’ and radius OC. Let us draw a line perpendicular to AC passing through the point ‘B’ and intersecting the semicircle at point ‘D’.
∴ The distance BD = √3.2

Now, to represent √3.2 on the number line. Let us take the line BC as number line and point ‘B’ as zero, point ‘C’ as ‘1’ and so on. Draw an arc with centre B and radius BD, which intersects the number line at point ‘E’.
Then, the point ‘E’ represents √3.2.

Question 3.
Express 1.32 + 0.35 as a fraction in the simplest form.
Solution:
Let . x = 1.32 = 1.3222…..(i)

Multiplying eq. (i) by 10, we have
10x = 13.222…
Again, multiplying eq. (i) by 100, we have
100x = 132.222… …(iii)
Subtracting eq. (ii) from (iii), we have
100x – 10x = (132.222…) – (13.222…)
90x = 119
⇒ x = 11990
Again, y = 0.35 = 0.353535……
Multiply (iv) by 100, we have …(iv)
100y = 35.353535… (v)
Subtracting (iv) from (u), we have
100y – y = (35.353535…) – (0.353535…)
99y = 35
y = 3599

Question 4.
Find the square root of 10 + √24 + √60 + √40.
Solution:

Question 5.
If x = 9 + 4√5, find the value of √x – 1x√.
Solution:
Here,
x = 9 + 4√5
x = 5 + 4 + 2 x 2√5
x = (√5² + (2² + 2 x 2x √5).
x = (√5 + 2)²
√x = √5 + 2
Now, 1x√ = 15√+2

Question 6.
If x = 15√−2 , find the value of x³ – 3² – 5x + 3
Solution:

∴ x – 2 = √5
Squaring both sides, we have
x² – 4x + 4 = 5
x² – 4x – 1 = 0 …(i)
Now, x³ – 3² – 5x + 3 = (x² – 4x – 1) (x + 1) + 4
= 0 (x + 1) + 4 = 4 [using (i)]

Question 7.
Find ‘x’, if 2^x-7 × 5^x-4 = 1250.
Solution:
We have 2^x-7 × 5^x-4 = 1250
⇒ 2^x-7 × 5^x-4 = 2 5 × 5 × 5 × 5
⇒ 2^x-7 × 5^x-4 = 21 × 54
Equating the powers of 2 and 5 from both sides, we have
⇒ x – 7 = 1 and x – 4 = 4
⇒ x = 8 and x = 8
Hence, x = 8 is the required value.

Question 8.
Evaluate:

Solution:

`Question 9.
If x = p+q√+p−q√p+q√−p−q√, then prove that q² – 2px + 9 = 0.
Solution:


Squaring both sides, we have
⇒ q²x² + p² – 2pqx = p² – q²
⇒ q²x² – 2pqx + q² = 0
⇒ q(q² – 2px + q) = 0
⇒ qx² – 2px + q = 0 (∵ q ≠ 0)

Question 10.
If a = 13−11√ and b = 1a, then find a² – b²
