Simplifying when a Radical is in the Denominator: You cannot leave a radical in the denominator of a fraction. You need to simplify or “rationalize” the expression. Simplify the following into its simplest rationalized form:
2 / √3
2 / √3
2√3
(2√3) / 3
2 / 3
Simplify the following into its simplest rationalized form:
15 / √5
3√5
(15√5) / 5
3
15√5
