How to rationalize surd functions?
Given the surd function expressed as:
[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} +5}{\sqrt{3} - 5 }[/tex]
Multiply by the conjugate of the denominator to have:
[tex]= \frac{\sqrt{3} +5}{\sqrt{3} - 5 } \times \frac{\sqrt{3} +5}{\sqrt{3} + 5 } \\=\frac{\sqrt{9}+5\sqrt{3}+5\sqrt{3}+25 }{3-25}[/tex]
Simplify the resulting expression
[tex]\\=\frac{3+10\sqrt{3}+25 }{-22}\\=\frac{28+10\sqrt{3}}{-22} \\= \frac{14+5\sqrt{3}}{11}[/tex]
Hence the simplified form of the expression is [tex]\frac{14+5\sqrt{3}}{11}[/tex]
