or
:
I'm also not sure what you want to do with this expression, but I'll assume that you want to rationalize the denominator.
:
Let's try the second expression first. In order to rationalize (get the radicals out of) a denominator that is the sum (or difference) of two radicals, you need to remember the factoring rule for the difference of two squares.
:
:
:
3 is a nice neat rational denominator, so all we have to do is multiply the expression by 1, in the form of
:
:
If the problem is actually the first expression, then you need to multiply the first term by 1 in the form of
, thus:
:
, then find a common denominator and add:
:
Hope that helps.
