Find the product: $(4-\sqrt{7})(4+\sqrt{7})$.

Express $0.4\overline{56}$ (recurring decimal) in the form $\frac{p}{q}$, where p and q are integers and $q \neq 0$.

Find a point corresponding to $\frac{7}{3} + \sqrt{2}$ on the number line.

Rationalise the denominator of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}+\sqrt{3}}$ and subtract it from $\sqrt{7}-\sqrt{3}$.

Evaluate:

(i) $(59049)^{\frac{1}{5}}$

(ii) $\left(\frac{-1}{64}\right)^{-\frac{1}{3}}$

Simplify: $10\sqrt{50} + 3\sqrt{98} - 7\sqrt{200} + 2\sqrt{32} + 4\sqrt{12}$.

Find two irrational numbers in decimal form between $\sqrt{7}$ and $3$.

If $\sqrt{8}=2.828$ and $\sqrt{18}=4.243$, find the value of $\frac{64}{\sqrt{144}-\sqrt{72}}$.

If $\frac{(\sqrt{3}-4)}{(\sqrt{3}+4)} - \frac{(\sqrt{3}+4)}{(\sqrt{3}-4)} = e + f\sqrt{3}$, find e and f where e and f are rational numbers.

If $z = 8 + 3\sqrt{5}$, find:

(i) $\sqrt{z} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{z}}$

(ii) $\sqrt{z} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{z}}$
