    Example
    Rationalize the denominators of
    2 5 √7+3√2
    a.) b.) 2+√3 c.)
    √5 √7−√2

    Reinforcement practice
    1. Rationalize the denominators.
    1 9 4 4 3 √3
    a.) b.) c.) d.) e.) f.)
    √5 √3 √5 √12 √8 √15

    5 1+√5 3 − √2
    g.) 2√2 h.) i.)
    √5 √2

    √5 4√5 2√3 3√2 √5 5√2 5+ √5 −2+3√2


    [ a.) b.) 3√3 c.) d.) e.) f.) g.) h.) i.) ]
    5 5 3 4 5 4 5 2

    2. Rationalize the denominators and simplify.


    1 1 1 4 1 8
    a.) b.) c.) d.) e.) f.)
    1+ √2 3+ √5 3+ √7 3 − √5 2√3−√2 √7− √5

    3 – √5 3 – √7 2√3+ √2
    [ a.) – 1 + √2 b.) c.) d.) 3 + √5 e.) f.) 4√7 + 4√5 ]
    4 2 10

    3. Rationalize the denominators and simplify.


    2 – √3 1 + √2 √2+1 √7 – √2
    a.) 2+ b.) 3 – c.) 2√2 –1 d.)
    √3 √2 √7+ √2

    √5+1 √17 – √11 √3 – √7 √23+ √37


    e.) 3 – f.) g.) h.)
    √5 √17+ √11 √3+√7 √37 –√23

    5+4√2 5+3√2 9 – 2√14 14 – √187 –5+ √21 30+ √851


    [ a.) 7 – 4√3 b.) c.) d.) e.) 2 + √5 f.) g.) h.) ]
    7 7 5 3 2 7

    4. Write as a single fraction.


    1 1 2 1 2 1
    a.) + b.) + c.) 4 – + 4+√3
    √3+1 √3–1 √7+√2 √7–√2 √3

    3√7 – √2 12+ √3
    [ a.) √3 b.) c.) ]
    5 13
