 Introduction to Surds

It has been a topic that most students find difficulty in, especially the aspect of rationalization. So I decided to make a complete series on Surds. So subscribe to my youtube channel and blog so as not to miss out.



Surds are irrational numbers, that is they have no fractional equivalent e.g √3,√5,√7 etc

1. What are Surds

2. Rules of Surds

3. Simplification of surds

4. Expression of single surds

5. Basic operations on surds

6. Practice problems



The answers to the practice problems

1b. 9√2

2a. √8

2b. √(605)

3a. 11√3

3b. 45 - 2√5
