Answer:

2x-2

Explanation:

Being specifically asked to rationalise the denominator we focus on it as required.

To rationalise a term it has to be multiplied by its inverse.

The inverse of


√(x) - √(2 - x)

is


√(x) + √(2 - x)

Multiplying this two vives us a difference of two squares


{( √(x) })^(2) - {( √(2 - x) )}^(2)

which gives us

x-(2-x)

=2x-2
