Definition :
• If p and q are two integers with no common factors and , than a is an irrational number.
• Irrational number of the form are called SURDS.

Prove that is irrational.
€
2 [Reproduction of Proof not required for assessment]
Let p and q be two integers with no common factors, such that is a rational number.
€
2 =p
q
Then squaring both sides,
€
2( )2
=p
q
⎛
⎝ ⎜
⎞
⎠ ⎟
2
€
2 =p2
q2
€
2q2 = p2rearrange Now, the left side is an even number, this implies that p2 is also an even
number, which implies that p is divisible by 2. Let p = 2m, where m is an integer. Hence, p2 = 4m2.
2q2 = 4m2 Dividing by 2.
q2 = 2m2 Now, the right side is an even number, this implies that q2 is also an even number, which implies that q is divisible by 2.
But, this contradict our assumption that p and q have NO common factors..Hence, we cannot write,
were p and q are integers with no common factors.
Therefore cannot be a rational number, it must be an IRRATIONAL number..

€
2 =p

Surd Operations
€
1) a × a = a or a( )2
= a
€
2) a × b = ab
€
3) c a ± d a = (c ± d) a
€
4) 2 3 ± 5 7 = 2 3 ± 5 7
€
5) ab
=ab
or a ÷ b =ab
If a, b, c and d are numbers and a > 0 and b > 0, then
€
1) 5 × 5 = 5 or 5( )2
= 5
€
2) 3 × 5 = (3× 5) = 15
€
3) 2 3 + 5 3 = (2 + 5) 3 = 7 3
€
4) c a ± d b = c a ± d b
€
5) 53
=53
or 5 ÷ 3 =53
Surds can behave like numbers and/or algebra.

Simplifying Surds
To simplify a surd expression, we need to (if possible) write the given surd number as a product a perfect square, n2, and another factor. It is important to use the highest perfect square factor but not essential. If the highest perfect square factor is not used first off, then the process needs to be repeated (sometimes it faster to use a smaller factor).
Generate the perfect square number:
Order 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
n2 12 22 32 42 52 62 72 82 92 102
Value 1 4 9 16 25 36 49 64 81 100
Factorise the surd number using the largest perfect square :18 = 9 x 3 24 = 4 x 6 27 = 9 x 3 48 = 16 x 3
Or any square factor:
72 = 36 x 2 72 = 9 x 8 72 = 4 x 18 72 = 4 x 9 x 2€
18 = 9 × 3
€
24 = 4 × 6
€
27 = 9 × 3
€
48 = 16 × 3
€
72 = 36 × 2
€
72 = 9 × 8
€
72 = 4 × 18
€
72 = 4 × 9 × 2
