Rationalize the denominator and simplify. (Equation inside)

\[\frac{\sqrt{11}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{11}+\sqrt{2}}\]

Anybody?? @Johnbc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You will want to multiply the fraction by the conjugate base. The conjugate base is the denominator so if it was: a + b then it will be a-b. \[\frac{ a - b }{ a+b } \times \frac{ a-b }{ a-b }\]
