Question

Rationalize the denominator of the fraction. square root of 3/square root of 3 - 2
yeah i know my calculator can do it but it's giving me aincorrect answer. so you'd better answer it really quick so itwon't be a question anymore it'll be a solution. :) i'd reallyappreciate the help. :) i'll give full points no matter what!:) square root of 3/square root of 3 - 2

Explanation / Answer

square root of 3/square root of 3 - 2...use difference ofsquares factoring as your clue     3      (3 +2)    =       3+ 23          =         -(3 +23) = -3 - 23             (3 - 2)    (3 + 2)            3 - 4 think of (a+b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2 use the difference of squares factoring to find out how toeliminate radicals...if you just squared the term, the middle termwould still have a radical sign look under rationalize the denominator (3 - 2)    (3 + 2)            3 - 4 think of (a+b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2 use the difference of squares factoring to find out how toeliminate radicals...if you just squared the term, the middle termwould still have a radical sign look under rationalize the denominator
