we have the expression


\frac{8}{3-\sqrt[]{10}}

To simplify the given rational expression, multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

so


\frac{8}{3-\sqrt[]{10}}\cdot\frac{3+\sqrt[]{10}}{3+\sqrt[]{10}}
\frac{8}{3-\sqrt[]{10}}\cdot\frac{3+\sqrt[]{10}}{3+\sqrt[]{10}}=\frac{8\cdot(3+\sqrt[]{10})}{3^2-(\sqrt[]{10})^2}
\frac{8\cdot(3+\sqrt[]{10})}{3^2-(\sqrt[]{10})^2}=\frac{24+8\sqrt[]{10}}{9-10}
\frac{24+8\sqrt[]{10}}{-1}=-24-8\sqrt[]{10}

therefore

The answer is


-24-8\sqrt[]{10}
