Question

Simplify by rationalizing:fraction numerator 7 plus 3 square root of 5 over denominator 7 minus 3 square root of 5 end fraction

hintHint:

Hint:
Rationalization is a technique which is used to eliminate the irrational number in the denominator. For example,fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction  can be rationalised as fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction cross times fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction equals fraction numerator square root of 3 over denominator 3 end fraction

The correct answer is: 47/2+21/2 √5 .


    Let’s say x =fraction numerator 7 plus 3 square root of 5 over denominator 7 minus 3 square root of 5 end fraction
    To rationalise the denominator, we can multiply 7 plus 3 square root of 5 to the numerator and denominator.
