The correct Answer is:
To express the given fraction \((8\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{5}) / (9\sqrt{3} - 4\sqrt{5})\) as an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator, we will rationalize the denominator. Here are the steps to solve the problem: ### Step 1: Identify the Conjugate The denominator is \(9\sqrt{3} - 4\sqrt{5}\). The conjugate of this expression is \(9\sqrt{3} + 4\sqrt{5}\). ### Step 2: Multiply Numerator and Denominator by the Conjugate We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate: \[ \frac{(8\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{5})(9\sqrt{3} + 4\sqrt{5})}{(9\sqrt{3} - 4\sqrt{5})(9\sqrt{3} + 4\sqrt{5})} \] ### Step 3: Expand the Numerator Using the distributive property (FOIL method), we expand the numerator: \[ (8\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{5})(9\sqrt{3} + 4\sqrt{5}) = 8\sqrt{3} \cdot 9\sqrt{3} + 8\sqrt{3} \cdot 4\sqrt{5} - 3\sqrt{5} \cdot 9\sqrt{3} - 3\sqrt{5} \cdot 4\sqrt{5} \] Calculating each term: 1. \(8\sqrt{3} \cdot 9\sqrt{3} = 72 \cdot 3 = 216\) 2. \(8\sqrt{3} \cdot 4\sqrt{5} = 32\sqrt{15}\) 3. \(-3\sqrt{5} \cdot 9\sqrt{3} = -27\sqrt{15}\) 4. \(-3\sqrt{5} \cdot 4\sqrt{5} = -12 \cdot 5 = -60\) Combining these, the numerator becomes: \[ 216 + 32\sqrt{15} - 27\sqrt{15} - 60 = 216 - 60 + (32 - 27)\sqrt{15} = 156 + 5\sqrt{15} \] ### Step 4: Expand the Denominator Next, we expand the denominator using the difference of squares: \[ (9\sqrt{3})^2 - (4\sqrt{5})^2 = 81 \cdot 3 - 16 \cdot 5 = 243 - 80 = 163 \] ### Step 5: Combine the Results Now we can write the equivalent fraction: \[ \frac{156 + 5\sqrt{15}}{163} \] ### Final Answer The equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is: \[ \frac{156 + 5\sqrt{15}}{163} \]
