In order to simplify the expression, you need to multiply the denominator and numerator by the denominators complex conjugate. Do you know how to find the complex conjugate of \[-4-\sqrt{12}\]
No clue
The complex conjugate would be the same equation but instead of adding it would be subtracting and vise versa. Do you get it?
yea
The complex conjugate is \[-4+\sqrt{12}\] This expression needs to be multiplied by both the numerator and denominator of the original expression. What you should get is \[\frac{ 2\sqrt{15} }{ (-4-\sqrt{12)} }*\frac{ (-4+\sqrt{12} }{ (-4+\sqrt{12)} }\]
so the answer is -4+sqrt 12?
yes as long as it is in the numerator and denominator
okay cool
