Math Problem Statement

Bentuk rasional dari \( \frac{6\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{2}} \) adalah?

Solution

The question is asking to simplify the expression to its rational form:

627+22\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{2}}

To rationalize the denominator, we will multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 722\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{2}.

Multiply the expression by 722722:\text{Multiply the expression by } \frac{\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{2}}:

62(722)(7+22)(722)\frac{6\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{2})}

Now we simplify the denominator:

(7+22)(722)=(7)2(22)2=78=1(\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{2}) = (\sqrt{7})^2 - (2\sqrt{2})^2 = 7 - 8 = -1

Now simplify the numerator:

62(722)=614124=61412×2=614246\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{2}) = 6\sqrt{14} - 12\sqrt{4} = 6\sqrt{14} - 12 \times 2 = 6\sqrt{14} - 24

Putting it all together:

614241=(61424)=614+24\frac{6\sqrt{14} - 24}{-1} = -(6\sqrt{14} - 24) = -6\sqrt{14} + 24

Thus, the rationalized form is:

2461424 - 6\sqrt{14}
