The correct Answer is:
To express the given expression \((\sqrt{8} + \sqrt[3]{4}) / (\sqrt{8} - \sqrt[3]{4})\) with a rational denominator, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Roots in Exponential Form First, we can express the square root and cube root in terms of powers of 2: - \(\sqrt{8} = 8^{1/2} = (2^3)^{1/2} = 2^{3/2}\) - \(\sqrt[3]{4} = 4^{1/3} = (2^2)^{1/3} = 2^{2/3}\) Thus, we can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{2^{3/2} + 2^{2/3}}{2^{3/2} - 2^{2/3}} \] ### Step 2: Rationalize the Denominator To rationalize the denominator, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{(2^{3/2} + 2^{2/3})(2^{3/2} + 2^{2/3})}{(2^{3/2} - 2^{2/3})(2^{3/2} + 2^{2/3})} \] ### Step 3: Apply the Difference of Squares Formula Using the difference of squares formula \(a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)\), we can simplify the denominator: - \(a = 2^{3/2}\) - \(b = 2^{2/3}\) Thus, the denominator becomes: \[ (2^{3/2})^2 - (2^{2/3})^2 = 2^{3} - 2^{4/3} \] ### Step 4: Expand the Numerator Now, expanding the numerator: \[ (2^{3/2} + 2^{2/3})^2 = (2^{3/2})^2 + 2 \cdot 2^{3/2} \cdot 2^{2/3} + (2^{2/3})^2 \] Calculating each term: - \((2^{3/2})^2 = 2^{3} = 8\) - \((2^{2/3})^2 = 2^{4/3}\) - \(2 \cdot 2^{3/2} \cdot 2^{2/3} = 2^{3/2 + 2/3 + 1} = 2^{3/2 + 2/3 + 3/3} = 2^{13/6}\) So, the numerator becomes: \[ 8 + 2^{13/6} + 2^{4/3} \] ### Step 5: Combine the Results Now we have: \[ \frac{8 + 2^{13/6} + 2^{4/3}}{2^{3} - 2^{4/3}} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Denominator The denominator can be simplified further: \[ 2^{3} - 2^{4/3} = 2^{9/3} - 2^{4/3} = 2^{4/3}(2^{5/3} - 1) \] ### Final Expression Now, substituting back into our expression, we get: \[ \frac{8 + 2^{13/6} + 2^{4/3}}{2^{4/3}(2^{5/3} - 1)} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the expression \((\sqrt{8} + \sqrt[3]{4}) / (\sqrt{8} - \sqrt[3]{4})\) with a rational denominator is: \[ \frac{8 + 2^{13/6} + 2^{4/3}}{2^{4/3}(2^{5/3} - 1)} \]
