The correct Answer is:
To express the fraction \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{14} + \sqrt{15} + \sqrt{21}} \) as an equivalent fraction with a rational denominator, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Denominator The denominator is \( \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{14} + \sqrt{15} + \sqrt{21} \). ### Step 2: Rationalize the Denominator To rationalize the denominator, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate in this case is \( \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{21} - \sqrt{14} - \sqrt{15} \). ### Step 3: Multiply the Numerator and Denominator We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate: \[ \frac{1 \cdot (\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{21} - \sqrt{14} - \sqrt{15})}{(\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{14} + \sqrt{15} + \sqrt{21})(\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{21} - \sqrt{14} - \sqrt{15})} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Denominator Now we need to simplify the denominator using the difference of squares: \[ (\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{21})^2 - (\sqrt{14} + \sqrt{15})^2 \] Calculating each square: 1. \( (\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{21})^2 = 10 + 21 + 2\sqrt{10 \cdot 21} = 31 + 2\sqrt{210} \) 2. \( (\sqrt{14} + \sqrt{15})^2 = 14 + 15 + 2\sqrt{14 \cdot 15} = 29 + 2\sqrt{210} \) Now, subtract these two results: \[ (31 + 2\sqrt{210}) - (29 + 2\sqrt{210}) = 31 - 29 = 2 \] ### Step 5: Write the Final Expression Now we can write the fraction as: \[ \frac{\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{21} - \sqrt{14} - \sqrt{15}}{2} \] ### Final Result Thus, the equivalent fraction with a rational denominator is: \[ \frac{\sqrt{10} + \sqrt{21} - \sqrt{14} - \sqrt{15}}{2} \]
