First of all welcome to openstudy:)
I'm not sure if you already learned this
since it is not right to have a radical expression at the denominator
you'll have to multiply this fraction by it's conjugate
\(\LARGE (\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}-1})(\frac{\sqrt{2}+1}{\sqrt{2}+1})\)
simplify it and tell me what you get

actually i did learn it but i got confused after that part and thanks for the welcoming

HELLO??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ 5\sqrt{2}+5 }{ 1 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats what i got do i simplify anymore???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
will it be \[5\sqrt{2}+5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry i was away for my dinner
you already got it right! :)
you can just ignore the denominator since the value is 1
anything that is divided by 1 is simply the valus of the numerator
so it will be \(5\sqrt{2}+5\ or\ (5(\sqrt{2}+1)\)
