___________
√[6] – √[3]
Use the conjugate form for the denominator which is √[6] + √[3]. In order to maintain that you have not changed the expression you need to multiply the numerator and the denominator with the conjugate
3
___________
√[6] – √[3]
X
√[6] + √[3
√[6] + √[3=
3√[6] + 3√[3]/6-3=3√[6] + 3√[3]/6-3/3
cancel the 3 term in the numerator and denominator=√[6] + √[3]/1
