The problem shown in the image asks you to "Rationalize the denominator" for the expression:

\[
\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}
\]

To rationalize the denominator, we need to eliminate the square root in the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by \(\sqrt{x}\):

\[
\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}} = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{x}
\]

Now, the denominator is rationalized, and the final expression is:

\[
\frac{\sqrt{x}}{x}
\]
