RATIONALISING THE DENOMINATOR
This is the process of rationalising the denominator of a fraction which is an irrational one by multiplying the additive inverse of the denominator with the denominator and with the numerator.
SO, LET'S SOLVE
The given fraction=√3-1/√3+1
The additive inverse of the denominator=√3-1
By, rationalising the denominator we get,
(√3-1)(√3-1)/(√3+1)(√3-1)
=(√3-1)^2/[(√3)^2-(1)^2]
=(√3)^2-2(√3)(1)+(1)^2/[3-1]. {USING THE FORMULA (a-b)^2=(a)^2-2×a×b+(b)^2 for the numerator and (a)^2-(b)^2 for the denominator}
=3-2√3+1/2
=4-2√3/2
=2(2-√3)/2
=2-√3
THEREFORE,ON RATIONALISING THE GIVEN FRACTION WE GET THE ANSWER AS 2-√3.
HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU.
