Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image you uploaded asks to "Rationalize the numerator" of the following expression:
Let me walk through the steps to rationalize the numerator.
Step-by-step solution:
-
The numerator involves a cube root of a fraction: .
-
First, simplify the expression inside the cube root. Since , the fraction becomes:
-
Now, the numerator is . This can be expressed as:
So the numerator simplifies to .
-
Now the expression becomes:
-
To rationalize the numerator, we need to eliminate the square root from the numerator. Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by :
-
Finally, simplify the expression:
Thus, the rationalized form of the expression is:
Let me know if you'd like more details or have any questions.
