00:0-1 to simplify this problem , we must get rid of
00:03 the radical in the denominator but notice that there are
00:07 two terms in the denominator of this fraction . In
00:12 this situation , in order to get rid of the
00:15 radical , we must multiply top and bottom of the
00:18 fraction by the conjugate of the denominator . The conjugate
00:24 of two plus route seven is 2 -17 . So
00:30 here we multiply top and bottom of the fraction by
00:34 two route seven , Distributing in the numerator . We
00:42 have 10 -5 . Route seven . In the denominator
00:50 notice that we must foil two times 2 is four
01:00 . two times negative route seven is -2 , Routes
01:05 seven , Positive route seven times 2 is positive to
01:10 route seven And positive route seven times negative . Route
01:14 seven is negative . Route 49 or negative seven .
01:22 Notice that in the denominator the minus two , Routes
01:25 seven plus two . Route seven cancel each other out
01:30 And we have 4 -7 which is -3 . So
01:36 we have 10 -5 . Route seven over negative three
01:45 . As your last step , I would change the
01:47 minus sign in the denominator to A plus , which
01:52 changes the sign of every term in the numerator .
01:56 So we have -10-plus 5 , 7 over positive three
00:0-1 .
