The correct Answer is:
To rationalize the denominator of the expression \(\frac{2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{2}}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the expression We start with the expression: \[ \frac{2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 2: Multiply by the conjugate To rationalize the denominator, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of \(2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{2}\) is \(2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2}\). So, we multiply: \[ \frac{2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 3: Apply the formula for the difference of squares The denominator now becomes: \[ (2\sqrt{5})^2 - (3\sqrt{2})^2 \] Calculating this gives: \[ = 4 \cdot 5 - 9 \cdot 2 = 20 - 18 = 2 \] ### Step 4: Expand the numerator Now we expand the numerator: \[ (2\sqrt{5} + 3\sqrt{2})^2 \] Using the formula \((a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\): \[ = (2\sqrt{5})^2 + 2(2\sqrt{5})(3\sqrt{2}) + (3\sqrt{2})^2 \] Calculating each term: \[ = 4 \cdot 5 + 12\sqrt{10} + 9 \cdot 2 = 20 + 12\sqrt{10} + 18 = 38 + 12\sqrt{10} \] ### Step 5: Combine the results Now we can write the entire expression: \[ \frac{38 + 12\sqrt{10}}{2} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the fraction We can simplify this by dividing each term in the numerator by 2: \[ = \frac{38}{2} + \frac{12\sqrt{10}}{2} = 19 + 6\sqrt{10} \] ### Final Result Thus, the rationalized form of the expression is: \[ 19 + 6\sqrt{10} \] ---
