I AM GIVING YOU AN EXAMPLE SO YOU CAN STUDY AND UNDERSTAND IT BETTER
RATIONALIZE
3/2+√5
STEP (1)SIMPLIFY THE SQUARE ROOT IN THE DENOMINATOR
√5 IS ALREADY SIMPLIFIED,DO NOTHING HERE
STEP (2) MULTIPLY THE NUM.& DENO.BY THE DENOMINATORS CONJUGATE*2-√5
3/2+√5 times 2-√5/2-√5=3(2-√5)/(2+√5)(2-√5)=6-3√5)/4+2√5-2√5)+5=6-3√5/9
STEP(3) SIMPLIFY
6-3√5/9=2-√5/3
6-3√5 OVER 9=2-√5OVER 3
