I have an answer. I need someone to double-check my work.

Question: 3/1-√2

Work: Multiply by (1+√2) to get 3+3√2/1-2.
Simplify that to: 3+3√2/-1

Does that also get simplified to -3-3√2 because of the negative in the denominator?

-3-3√2 is the correct final answer

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

and yes, when you have (3+3√2)/(-1) you would divide each piece in the numerator by -1 to simplify fully
