Mathematicians do not like radicals in denominators. So, we rationalize by multiplying by the conjugate.

Notes L6-5c: Rationalize Binomial Denominators

note: (a+b)(a-b) are called conjugates. Like [2], when conjugates are multipled together, the middle terms cancel.

Since we are working with square roots, we can use conjugates to eliminate the root.

To rationalize \LARGE \frac{-2}{-8+\sqrt{6}}

you would:

  1. Simplify both the numerator and denominator.

  2. Show that you are multipling by the conjugate (on the top and bottom).

  3. Find the conjugate.

  4. Distibute (by foiling) in both the top and bottom.

  5. Reduce if possible.
