Exercises 4 To simplify the given expression, let’s multiply the numerator and denominator by 32​. This will eliminate the radical in the denominator. 32​12​ba​=b⋅32​a⋅32​​32​⋅32​12⋅32​​a​⋅a​=a3212⋅32​​ We know that we have successfully rationalized the denominator because the radical has been eliminated.

Exercises 5 To rationalize a monomial denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by a radical that will eliminate the radical in the denominator. Because the radical in the denominator is a square root, we need to multiply it by a square root and that will give us a perfect square under the radical. 11​4​ba​=b⋅11​a⋅11​​11​⋅11​411​​a​⋅a​=a11411​​
