1 A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator RATIONALIZING THE DENOMINATOR A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator If a radical expression contains an irrational denominator, such as,, or 0, then it is not considered to be in a simplified form. To simplify such a fraction, we use a process called rationalizing the denominator. To rationalize a denominator means to make it into a rational number specifically, a whole number. To rationalize a denominator requires us to create a perfect square radicand in the denominator. We do c this by multiplying the fractions by a creative form of, c. For example, we can multiply there: 9 by to create 9 in the denominator, and we simplify it from In the example above, we say that the common multiplier is, but it means that we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator by. Note: Radicals are compatible with multiplication and division, but radicals are incompatible with addition and subtraction: a b a b and Likewise, a b a b and 4 a b a b a b a b However, a + b a + b and a + b a + b Example : Rationalize the denominator and simplify each expression. a) b) 0 Procedure: Multiply by an appropriate form of to create a perfect square radicand in the denominator. Simplify if possible. Answer: a) b) A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator Robert H. Prior, 0
2 A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator Sometimes we can simplify the fraction before rationalizing. For example, in a), we could have made into a single radical: and then simplify it to and then before rationalizing the denominator. Sometimes the denominator can be simplified before rationalizing. For example, the in the denominator of can first be simplified to 4 : 9 You Try It Rationalize the denominator and simplify each expression. Use Example as a guide. a) b) c) d) 8 8 WHY WE RATIONALIZE THE DENOMINATOR We know how to rationalize the denominator, but why do we do it? To understand this, let s consider the decimal approximation of :.44 In trigonometry the number Is it more than or less than? appears quite a bit. Where is this number located on the number line? A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator Robert H. Prior, 0
3 A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator To answer these questions, we must find its decimal approximation. One way is to use long division: (shown at right) The long division tells us However, the process is much simpler if we first rationalize the denominator:.44 This division is much simpler because the divisor is a whole number (shown at right): This long division also tells us Example : Given., find the value of Answer: Rationalize the denominator and then use long division. So, RATIONALIZING WITH A BINOMIAL DENOMINATOR The product of a binomial radical expression and its conjugate always results in a rational number, oftentimes an integer. For example, A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator Robert H. Prior, 0
4 8 A.4 Rationalizing the Denominator. The conjugate of ( + ) is ( ) and their product is ( + )( ) ( ) ( ) 4. The conjugate of ( 0 ) is ( + 0 ) and their product is ( + 0 )( 0 ) ( 0 ) This knowledge is useful when a radical expression has a binomial in the denominator, such as. To rationalize the denominator, we use the conjugate of the denominator as the common multiplier. For 0 example, to rationalize the denominator of, the common multiplier is +, so we multiply the fraction by + + : ( + ) 9 0( + ) ( + ) + Example : Rationalize the denominator and simplify + Procedure: Multiply by an appropriate form of to create a perfect square radicand in the denominator. The common multiplier is the conjugate of the denominator. Answer: + Multiply by. + Multiply the fractions. Multiplying the denominators creates the difference of squares. ( ) ( ) () ( ) Multiply out the numerator and simplify the denominator Simplify the denominator as well as the numerator radicals. + The numerator does not simplify any further. Whew!
