Question

to rationalize the denominator of \\(\frac{5 - \sqrt{7}}{9 - \sqrt{14}}\\), you should multiply the expression by which fraction?

\\(\circ\\) \\(\frac{5 + \sqrt{7}}{9 - \sqrt{14}}\\)

\\(\circ\\) \\(\frac{9 - \sqrt{14}}{9 - \sqrt{14}}\\)

\\(\circ\\) \\(\frac{9 + \sqrt{14}}{9 + \sqrt{14}}\\)

\\(\circ\\) \\(\frac{\sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{14}}\\)

Explanation:

Identify the denominator and its conjugate

Using the Radical Conjugates knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Determine the rationalizing fraction

Using the Rationalizing the Denominator knowledge point

$$ \frac{9 + \sqrt{14}}{9 + \sqrt{14}} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\frac{5 + \sqrt{7}}{9 - \sqrt{14}}\)
  • (B) \(\frac{9 - \sqrt{14}}{9 - \sqrt{14}}\)
  • (C) \(\frac{9 + \sqrt{14}}{9 + \sqrt{14}}\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(\frac{\sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{14}}\)
