Question

can someone rationalize this?
sqrt2 - 1 all over sqrt 6

Answer 1

Okay I would advise you to Multiply and Divide by sqrt2 + 1

Answer 2

\[(\sqrt{2}-1/\sqrt{6}) * (\sqrt{6} /\sqrt{6}) \]

Answer 3

Why ishaan? there is only sqrt6 in the denominator

Answer 4

ah understood the question wrong sorry

Answer 5

no worries

Answer 6

I took denominator as sqrt2 - 1

Answer 7

so do i multipy top and bottom by sqrt 6?

Answer 8

Lammy, can you multiply that? give it a shot

Answer 9

yes, that will eliminate the sqrt in the denominator

Answer 10

ok got it so rationalize is just geting rid of sqrt on the denominator

Answer 11

yes

also, your instructor will probably want you to simplify that numerator after you distribute the sqrt6 to the numerator.. so keep that in mind as well

Answer 12

yea = 2sqrt3-sqrt6 all over 6

Answer 13

perfect, well done

Answer 14

thanks!

Answer 15

anytime

Answer 16
