Rationalize the denominator- root 11 - root 5 / root 11 + root 5 Please answer ASAP.
Added by Nicole L.
Step 1
This will eliminate the radical in the denominator. So, we have: (root 11 - root 5)/(root 11 + root 5) * (root 11 - root 5)/(root 11 - root 5) Simplifying the numerator, we get: (root 11 - root 5) * (root 11 - root 5) = 11 - 2(root 11)(root 5) + 5 Simplifying Show more…
