Study Notes

Surds

A surd is an irrational root of a whole number that cannot be further simplified
Examples of surds include: √2, √3, √5, etc.

Simplifying Surds

The simplified form of √18 is 3√2 (since √18 = √(9 × 2) = √9 × √2 = 3√2)
The value of √(12 / 121) is √(1/11) = 1/√11 (since √(a/b) = √a / √b)

Types of Surds

There are two types of surds: pure surds (e.g. √2, √3) and mixed surds (e.g. 2√2, 3√5)
Note: Simplified surds are always in the form of a rational number multiplied by a pure surd
