You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8/sqrt(10) would be normalized by multiplying numerator and denominator by sqrt(10) / sqrt(10) to get:
\n" ); document.write( "8*sqrt(10)/(sqrt(10))^2
\n" ); document.write( "since sqrt(10)^2 = 10, then this expression can be simplified to:
\n" ); document.write( "8*sqrt(10)/10
\n" ); document.write( "this can be simplified further to:
\n" ); document.write( "4*sqrt(10)/5
\n" ); document.write( "i don't believe it can be simplified any further.
\n" ); document.write( "the simplification of a rational expression with a square root in the denominator is to manipulate the expression so that there is no square root in the denominator.\r
