@bridgetalyssum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. its supost to be simplified,lol

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

It can be simplified any further. Except you want to rationalize the denominator!

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

I mean "CAN'T"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the thing i don't know how to rationalize,could you explain

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Know of conjugates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

sgrt 14 - sqrt3 is the conugate of sqrt 14+sqrt3. So multiply that expression by sqrt14-sqrt3/sqrt14-sqrt3.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

\[\frac{ 44 }{ \sqrt{14}+\sqrt{3} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{14}-\sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{14}-\sqrt{3}}\]

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

So multiply those carefully.
