Rationalize-Easy Algebra

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Rationalize. I know the bottom. But the top! How do you simplify it to -T???????

OpenStudy (loser66):

I don't think the denominator of the original problem is \(t\sqrt{1+t}\) , please check

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

My bad....

OpenStudy (loser66):

May be we have to apply L'hopital rule. hihihihi. not sure. Let's wait for @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

im thinking of getting a common denominator and then try rationalizing the numerator

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \lim \limits_{t \to 0} ~\dfrac{3}{t\sqrt{1+t}} - \dfrac{3}{t} = \lim \limits_{t \to 0} ~\dfrac{3}{t}\left(\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1+t}} - \dfrac{1}{1}\right)\\ \large = \lim \limits_{t \to 0} ~\dfrac{3}{t}\left(\dfrac{1-\sqrt{1+t}}{\sqrt{1+t}} \right) \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

rationalize the numerator - multiply and divide by the conjugate of numerator ^

OOPS 1+t not 1-t hihihi,. I am sorry misread

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

Thanks man! Nice!

OpenStudy (loser66):

so, it is not right. hehehe.. My bad

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

No, that was the ansewer. Internet took it.

OpenStudy (loser66):

Yup, just change - to + , the result is the same.
