Q4. Rationalize the denominator of 1 / (√5 + √2).
A(√5 - √2) / 3
B(√5 + √2) / 3
C(√5 - √2) / 1
D(√5 + √2) / 1
Correct Answer: A
To rationalize the denominator when it has a sum of square roots, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is √5 - √2. This gives: Numerator: 1 × (√5 - √2) = √5 - √2. Denominator: (√5 + √2)(√5 - √2) = (√5)^2 - (√2)^2 = 5 - 2 = 3. Thus, the expression simplifies to (√5 - √2) / 3.
