Simplify square root of x+1 + 1 over the square root of x + 1 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! [sqrt(x+1)+1]/[sqrt(x+1)]
Multiply numerator and denominator by sqrt(x+1) to get:
{(x+1)+[sqrt(x+1))]}/(x+1)
The only thing this has accomplished it to get the
radical out of the deominator: usually called
"rationalizing the denominator".
