Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression provided in the image is:
To rationalize the denominator, we need to eliminate the square root in the denominator. We do this by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by , as follows:
Thus, the rationalized form of the expression is:
This is the simplified expression with a rationalized denominator.
Would you like any further clarification or details on this?
Here are 5 related questions you might consider:
- What is the process for rationalizing more complex denominators?
- How would this change if the expression involved cube roots instead of square roots?
- Can you explain why we multiply by the denominator's square root to rationalize?
- What other types of irrational denominators might require a different approach to rationalize?
- How does rationalizing affect the numerical value of the expression?
Tip: When rationalizing denominators, always check if the resulting expression can be simplified further.
