multiply top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is that English 0.o
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
yes the conjugate is as follows
(a + sqrtb) is conjugate of (a - sqrtb) and vice versa
- when yuy multiply them out the sqrt disappears.

yes - its pretty long winded
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
multiplying thr denominator is bad enough but the numerator is worse!
for denominator
we get
(14sqrt50 - 8)(14sqrt50 + 8)
= 4(7sqrt50 - 4)(7sqrt50 + 4)
= 4 (49*50 - 16)
= 4 * 3434
= 9736
