This Lesson (Inter Alg Rationalizing Monomial Denominators* (YouTube Video of Dr. Rapalje)) was created by by rapaljer(4671)  : View Source, ShowAbout rapaljer: Retired Professor of Mathematics from Seminole State College of Florida after 36 years.
This video, from one of my Intermediate Algebra classes (circa 1994), explains how to rationalize denominators. To rationalize a denominator means to eliminate the radicals from the denominator.
In these videos, three types of denominators are rationalized:
1. Monomial means there is only one term, a square root, in the denominator.
2. Binomial means there are two terms in the denominator, one or both may contain square roots.
3. Cube root in the denominator.
