Answer:

Rationalizing

Step-by-step explanation:

Rationalizing the denominator find some way to convert the fraction into a form where the denominator has only "rational" (fractional or whole number) values. You can rationalize the denominator by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by a term that will cause the denominator to be an expression so that when it is simplified it no longer contains a radical.
