[@RickDesper-v8z]

Instead of looking for (a-b)^2 = 3 - 2 sqrt(2), I looked for (a + b sqrt(2))^2 = (3 - 2 sqrt(2)), with a, b rational numbers. The advantage here is that I don't have to pull a and b out of thin air: I can solve for them. In this case we have a^2 + 2 b^2 = 3 and 2ab = -2. There are two solutions here: a = -1, b = 1, and a = 1, b = -1. The latter choice is the positive result implied by the radical. So the answer is -1 + sqrt(2). How did I know to look for an answer in this form? From more advanced math, I know that Q[sqrt(2)] is a field, which means specifically for us that it's closed under multiplication. So it's a good place to start when looking for roots of a polynomial.

I remember seeing this trick of manipulation of sqrt(2) like imaginary numbers, but I didn’t realize it had a formal name Q(sqrt(2))

[@RozoClopero-hj9lf]

You can also use the fact that for a = sqrt(3 - sqrt(8)) and b = sqrt(3 + sqrt(8)) we find that ab = 1 and a + b = sqrt(8), hence x^2 - sqrt(8)x + 1 = 0 have - 1 + sqrt(2) and 1 + sqrt(2) for solution.

[@jim2376]

@@killanxv If (1) the coefficient in front of the second term is 2, and (2) the numbers summing to the first term are the same as factors multiplying to the radicand in the second term, then the answer is the sum or difference of the roots of the two numbers summing to the first term. See my post above. Gotta have that coefficient of 2 in front of the radical sign in the second term. √(15 + √200)) √200 = √(4 x 50) = 2√50. Bingo! Got the coefficient of 2. Now 10 + 5 = 15 and 10 x 5 = 50. Throw radical signs over 10 and 5 for your answer: √10 + √5. Note that we keep the sign in the original problem. Hope this helps.

Now √(√9 - √8) = √(3 - 2√2). Now suppose √(√3 - 2√2) = a + b√2, where a and b are integers. This maybe not actually have a solution in integers, but if it does, we can find them as follows. Let 3 - 2√2 = (a + b√2)² = (a² + 2b²) + 2ab√2 So, 3 = a² + 2b² and -2 = 2ab So, (a = 1 and b = -1) or (a = -1 and b = 1). However, a + b√2 ≥ 0, as otherwise √(√9 - √8) would be a complex number, so we are forced to conclude that a = -1 and b = 1 is the only possible solution. So, √(√9 - √8) = -1 + 1*√2 = √2 - 1.

[@samarthsamrat8378]

It can be the other method which is great but the standard one is more easy and convinnient

I'd start by relaxing to let a, b be rational numbers. Then be pleasantly surprised when they turn out to be integers. The rest of the process is exactly the same.

This doesn't look exactly right. Square your RHS. You get (x + y) - 2 sqrt(xy). You need to lose one "sqrt" on the left hand side. To wit: sqrt((x + y) - 2 sqrt(xy)) = +/- (sqrt(x) - sqrt(y)), with the sign chosen on the RHS to ensure the number is positive.

√{a ± b√c} (a,b,c non-neg. rat.) can be simplified to √y±√z iff {a² - b².c} = d². If this d exists, then take y = (a+d)/2 & z = (a-d)/2. Here a=3, b=2, & c=2. So d = √{3² - 2².2} = √{9 - 8} = √1 = 1. So y = {3+1}/2 = 2 & z = {3-1}/2 = 1. Hence √{√9 - √8} = √{3 - 2√2} = √y - √z = √2 - √1 = (√2) - 1.

As an Indian, I appeared this question at SOF Mathematics Olympaid in my third grade

[@JamesAnderson-lq8tf]

I always see Indians in comment section only to brag about themselves. Usually this means a lack of confidence and self-respect. Is India one of the leaders in technology in the world?

[@Eismann1]

It's a nice problem and thanks for your video. Please however do not write "=>" when dealing with terms. It leads many students to improper notation.

[@tenantjames2967]

I love maths but the way she explains it its juicy way of explaining.

[@ruqeyyarsulova4032]

I am an Azerbaijan pupil. Question is very easy. I found the solution to the question as soon as I saw it

[@polluxsimracing3712]

I got the answer as soon as i saw it 😂 i remember 40 years ago my teacher still be asking for the pointless work lol

[@dillipkumardash433]

We have Ramanujan Technique to solve this in the mind itself.

[@leventaa2347]

As a Turkish student who studied for university entrance exam, I am really sad that I solved this question like in seconds from my mind.

[@egeozel80]

So which University did you end up 😬 😁

3-2root2=(root2-1) square under root square and roof goes the answer is root2-1

[@ricofarrari1346]

Your just doing the math there’s no explaination along the way.

Shortcut √3-2x1.4=0.447, just compare from the options

Задача имеет 8 решений---------- +-(корень из 2 +1), +-(корень из 2 - 1), +-i(корень из 2 +1), +-i(корень из 2 - 1).

[@Lincoln-ht2dv]

I don't like abstract short cuts. Too complicated.

[@AdityaKumar-gv4dj]

Root 2 - 1, solved in less than a second orally 😅, a better version of the problem always appears in school level maths olympiad so just used to it.

[@Pietras_Maestro]

Very interesting, although in practice it is not needed for anything in life :)

[@chrisjfox8715]

In everyday life no, but the general take away from problems like this is exercising the notion of manipulating mathematical expressions into different forms to make them simpler (i.e., easier to manage, interpret, etc). This particular example isn't that complicated, but the general skill of simplification can come in handy in certain jobs. Like if one were to come up with a certain formula to describe a particular phenomena that's unique to that company, someone else may want to manipulate the form of that formula so to make its terms more explicit.

Kinda useless for ANY practical purposes ...sqrt(sqrt(9) -sqrt(8)) is solved using a pocket calculator

[@gzannos]

Since Sq root of 2 -1 is positive you don't have to use absolute value

Please do not write sqrt(2)= 1,414 This was the moment when you lost me.

@@buddy0479 You are mistaken. In the UK it is also 1.414. It is other European countries such as France and Germany where this occurs.

Can somebody help me with this question: task: Arthur and Renate are playing on a square game board divided into 7 x 7 squares. Arthur has two red stones initially placed in the bottom left and top right corner squares, while Renate has two black stones initially placed in the top left and bottom right corner squares. On their turn, a player selects one of their two stones and moves it to a horizontally or vertically adjacent free square. Arthur and Renate take turns, with Arthur starting. Arthur wins if, after a finite number of moves, his two stones are in horizontally or vertically adjacent squares. Can Renate prevent this by making clever moves?

[@satwikshaw1031]

As Indian I can confirm this we did in grade 6

[@caydeniam123]

Im in 9th grade and know how to do this. So ez. sqrt of 9 = 2 x sqrt 2.25 sqrt 8 = 2x sqrt 2 2xsqrt2.25 - 2xsqrt2= 2xsqrt 0.25=2x0.5=1

Why does the final answer have to be positive?
