Practice makes perfect
To rationalize a monomial denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by a radical that will eliminate the radical in the denominator. Because the denominator is a square root, we need to multiply it by a square root that will give us a perfect square under the radical.
We know that we have successfully rationalized the denominator because the radical has been eliminated. However, our fraction can still simplified a bit further. Let's try!
