I would need to know the step by step explanation so I can understand better
rationalize the denominator
2 over 4th radical 3

please explain
..
2/4th root(3)
change denominator using fractional exponents
2/3^(1/4)
multiply numerator and denominator by 3^(3/4)
2(3^(3/4)/(3^(3/4))(3^(1/4))
2(3^(3/4)/3 (ans)
..
An alternate method not using fractional exponents:
multiply numerator and denominator by 4th root(3^3))
2(4th root(3^3)/4th root(3)*4th root(3^3)
2(4th root(3^3)/4th root(3^4)
2(4th root(3^3)/3
