Question

What is the rationalizing factor of


2 plus root 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rationalization factor of √2 + √3 is √2 - √3.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the denominator of an expression is a surd which can be reduced to an expression with the rational denominator, this process is called as rationalizing. When the product of two surds is a rational number, then each surd of the two surds is called as rationalizing each other.
