Rationalize each denominator Adn please show me how u work it out..Thank You
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt7 + 3/ sqrt7 - 3
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%287%29+%2B+3%29%2F%28sqrt%287%29+-+3%29\" I think this is what you meant.
\n" ); document.write( "The object is to get rid of the radical in the DEN.
\n" ); document.write( "To do that, multiply NUM and DEN by the \"conjugate.\" That term applies to complex numbers, I'm not sure it's the one for this problem, but the approach is similar.
\n" ); document.write( "The \"conjugate\" of (sqrt(7) - 3) is (sqrt(7) + 3), a change of sign.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%287%29+%2B+3%29%2F%28sqrt%287%29+-+3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "=
\n" ); document.write( "= \"%28sqrt%287%29+%2B+3%29%2A%28sqrt%287%29+%2B+3%29%2F%287+-+9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"%287+%2B+6sqrt%287%29+%2B+9%29%2F%28-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "= \"-8+-+3sqrt%287%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "PS I looked it up, conjugate is the correct term.\r
