how do rationalise this?
{(plusminus)2(sqrt)2/(sqrt)3} ALL MINUS 2
{(plusminus)2(sqrt)2/(sqrt)3} ALL MINUS 2
No. That was just a simplification.aricho said:your not supposed to have a square root on the bottom are you?
Rationalization in mathematics refers to the process of simplifying a fraction by eliminating any radicals or irrational numbers in the denominator.
To rationalize a fraction with a square root in the denominator, you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. In this case, the conjugate of √3 is √3, so you would multiply the fraction by (√3)/(√3).
The purpose of rationalizing a fraction is to make it easier to work with and to express it in a simpler form. It also helps to eliminate any radicals or irrational numbers, making the fraction easier to understand and manipulate.
Yes, you can rationalize a fraction with a cube root in the denominator by following the same process as with a square root. You multiply the fraction by the conjugate of the denominator, which in this case would be (∛3)/(∛3).
After rationalizing the fraction, you will be left with {(plusminus)2(sqrt)6}/3. To simplify this further, you can factor out a √2 from the numerator, leaving you with (√2{(plusminus)2})/3. This is the simplest form of the rationalized fraction.
