Answer:

9+sqrt(14)

------------------

9+sqrt(14)

Explanation:

When we rationalize the denominator, we need to multiply by the conjugate

The denominator has a-sqrt(b), we multiply by a+sqrt(b)

Since we have 9 -sqrt(14), we need to multiply by 9+sqrt(14)

What we do to the bottom, we do to the top, so multiply by 9+sqrt(14) over 9+sqrt(14) which is equal to 1. This does not change the equation.


9+sqrt(14)

------------------

9+sqrt(14)
