answer to 19 9992 without using a calculator or computer.
c Can you find another number between 13 and 19 where a similar

Simplifying surds
Some surds, like some fractions, can be reduced to simplest form.
Only square roots will be considered in this section.
Consider:
Now,
Taking
9 and
36 = 6
36 = 9 × 4, so we could say:
9×4 =6
4 separately:
9× 4 =3×2=6
If both 9 × 4 = 6 and 9 × 4 = 6, then 9 × 4 = 9 × 4 .
This property can be stated as: ab = a × b and can be used to simplify surds.
8 =
=
4×2
4× 2
= 2 × 2 which can be written as 2 2 .
A surd can be simplified by dividing it into two square roots, one of which is the
highest perfect square that will divide evenly into the original number.
WORKED Example 8
Simplify each of the following.
a 40
b 72
THINK
a 1 Write the surd and divide it into two
parts, one being the highest perfect
square that will divide into the surd.
2 Write in simplest form by taking the
square root of the perfect square.

parts, one being the highest perfect
square that will divide into the surd.

square root of the perfect square.

Maths Quest 10 for Victoria
22 can not be simplified because no perfect square divides exactly into 22.
If a smaller perfect square is chosen the first time, the surd can be simplified in more
than one step.
72 =
4 × 18
= 2 18
= 2× 9× 2
= 2×3 2
=6 2
This is the same answer as found in worked example 8(b) but an extra step is included.
When dividing surds into two parts, it is critical that one is a perfect square.
For example, 72 = 24 × 3 is of no use because an exact square root can not be
found for either part of the answer.
WORKED Example 9
Simplify 6 20 .
THINK
WRITE
6 20 = 6 × 4 × 5
1
Write the expression and then divide
the surd into two parts, where one
square root is a perfect square.
2
Evaluate the part which is a perfect
square.
= 6×2 5
3
Multiply the whole numbers and write
the answer in simplest form.
= 12 5
Sometimes it is necessary to change a simplified surd to a whole surd. The reverse process is applied here where the rational part is squared before being placed back under
the square root sign.
WORKED Example 10
Write 5 3 in the form
a.
THINK
WRITE
1
Square the whole number part, then
express the whole number as a square
root.
52 = 25 so 5 =

it as the product of 2 square roots, one
of which is the square root in step 1 .

PETER RICHARDSON — Analyst Programmer
I use basic mathematical skills
throughout the day to calculate screen
heights and check whether all necessary
fields and labels will fit. More advanced
mathematics such as working with
formulas and other secondary school
mathematics are used in Excel
spreadsheets for statistics and data
manipulation.
During a typical day, all my work is
done on computer, usually using a
software package to write code in Java or
Cobol. I create screens for use by clients,
and the supporting code to ensure screens
react as expected.
Qualifications:
Bachelor of Applied Science (Computer
Science and Software Engineering)
I entered this field as a change of career and
find it to be interesting and diverse.

To raise money for a charity,
a Year 10 class has decided to
organise a school dance.
Tickets to the school dance
will cost $6 each. Expenses
have been calculated as $200
for the hire of the venue and
$250 for a DJ. The dance
organisers hope to raise more
than $1000 for charity. How
many people need to attend
the dance to achieve this
goal?
One way to come up with
an answer to this problem is
to solve an inequation. In this
chapter we will look at
equations and inequations
and consolidate and extend a
number of your algebraic
skills.

Expanding
Expanding brackets in an algebraic expression is achieved by multiplying the term outside the brackets by each of the terms inside.
For example,
2(x + 4y) = 2 × x + 2 × 4y
= 2x + 8y
Remember that rather than writing multiplication signs (×), we can write the pronumerals in brackets. In this case we could have written: 2(x + 4y) = 2(x) + 2(4y)
= 2x + 8y
When more than one set of brackets appears in an expression, we can often simplify
by collecting any like terms that result from expanding the brackets.
For example: 2(x + 5y) + 3(2x − y)
= 2(x) + 2(5y) + 3(2x) + 3(−y)
= 2x + 10y + 6x − 3y
= 8x + 7y

Factorising using common factors
Factorising is the opposite process to expanding. In this section, we will look at factorising by taking out the highest common factor (HCF) of an algebraic expression. (Further factorising techniques will be covered in chapter 4, Quadratic equations.)
WORKED Example 7
Factorise the following.
a 6a – 15
b 20p6 + 15p4
THINK
WRITE
a
Write the expression.
Find the highest common factor
(HCF) of the terms.
Place the HCF in front of a set of
brackets and divide each term by the
HCF to complete the inside of the
brackets.
a 6a − 15
Write the expression.
Find the highest common factor
(HCF) of the terms.
Place the HCF in front of a set of
brackets and divide each term by the
HCF to complete the inside of the
brackets.

HCF = 3
= 3(2a − 5)
HCF = 5p4
= 5p4(4p2 + 3)
remember
1. To factorise an expression:
(a) Find the highest common factor (HCF) of the terms and place in front of
the brackets.
(b) Divide each term by the HCF and place inside the brackets.
2. If the first term is negative, take out a negative common factor.
