Form the conjugate of the denominator by the rule:
the conjugate of A + B is A - B. You just change the sign
of the second term but keep the sign of the first term.
So the conjugate of the denominator is
.
Put this conjugate over itself like this: .
Since that red fraction just equals 1 we can multiply our express
by it and not change its numerical value, but change its form. So we multiply
by it:
×.
We'll put parentheses around the binomials:
×.
And multiply numerators and denominators:
To get the negative sign off the bottom, bring it to the top:
We can multiply the negative sign into the parentheses so it won't
be sticking out in front:
Finally we will reverse the terms in the parentheses:
That's the simplest form. Or this way
