Answer 1

9+√14

Step-by-step explanation

To Rationalize the denominator of 5-√7/9-√14.

To rationalize this we multiply both the denominator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

The denominator is 9-√14 and its conjugate is (9+√14).

(5-√7)/(9-√14) = (5-√7)(9+√14)/(9-√14)(9+√14)

= (5-√7)(9+√14)/(9²-14)

= (45 + 5√14 - 9√7 - √98)/(81-14)

= (45 + 5√14 - 9√7 - √98)/67

= (45 + 5√14 - 9√7 - 7√2)67

This is the rationalized expression.

The denominator is (9-√14) and its conjugate is (9+√14).
