The correct Answer is:
To find the lowest rationalizing factor of the expression \(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the expression We have the expression \(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\). ### Step 2: Write the conjugate The lowest rationalizing factor is obtained by writing the conjugate of the expression. The conjugate of \(a + b\) is \(a - b\). Therefore, the conjugate of \(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\) is \(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3}\). ### Step 3: Multiply the expression by its conjugate To rationalize the expression, we multiply \(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\) by its conjugate \(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3}\): \[ (3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3})(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3}) \] ### Step 4: Apply the difference of squares formula Using the identity \( (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2 \), we can simplify the multiplication: Let \(a = 3\sqrt{2}\) and \(b = 2\sqrt{3}\). Then, we have: \[ (3\sqrt{2})^2 - (2\sqrt{3})^2 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \(a^2\) and \(b^2\) Now, we calculate \(a^2\) and \(b^2\): 1. \( (3\sqrt{2})^2 = 9 \cdot 2 = 18 \) 2. \( (2\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 \cdot 3 = 12 \) ### Step 6: Subtract the results Now we subtract the two results: \[ 18 - 12 = 6 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the lowest rationalizing factor of \(3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3}\) is \(3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{3}\). ---
