how can you write the expression with rationalized denominator? sqrt3 - sqrt6 / sqrt3 + sqrt6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{2}-3\] ^ that would be your final answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Firstly, you should multiply numerator and denominator by sqrt3-sqrt6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you'd get (3-2sqrt18+6)/(-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

choices are -1-2sqrt18/3 -3-2sqrt18/9 -3+2sqrt2 9-2sqrt18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second choice is correct. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope sorry, the third!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get by doing this.. simplify the numerator to (9-6sqrt2)/-3.. and then you divide the numerator by negative 3; and voila! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob :)
