To rationalize the denominator you must multipy by the conjugate.
or in other words ...

By doing this, when you foil, the middle term will cancel out.
Remember ...

so ... we will multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate.

The denominator then follows the rule and we end up with ...


since the top numbers are cube roots and squareroots ... they can not be combined in radical form.

You have provided no variables in this problem.
However, it does not seem that there is a rational answer either, since the cube root of three IS repeating, and so are the square roots of 7 and 10 both.
However, this is what I came up with -1*{((3)^(1/3))}/3.
This is the first problem I have solved on this website, so I need to go back and learn the syntax better, but write that out on paper and remain aware of the parenthesis and braces.
