Video Definition 40--Rationals and Radicals--Rationalizing the Denominator
Topic
Rationals and Radicals
Description
Rationalizing the Denominator removes radicals from the denominator by multiplying by its conjugate. For example, 1 / √2 becomes √2 / 2 after rationalization. Illustrates how rationalization is used to make fractions easier to interpret and solve.
Understanding this video is essential for grasping the fundamentals of Rationals and Radicals. The mathematical concepts explored here form the basis for further exploration and application in related fields.
