What is the simplified form of each radical expression?
Which method should you use?
If the denominator is a perfect square, apply the Division Property of Square Roots first. If not, simplify the fraction first.
When a radicand in a denominator is not a perfect square, you may need to rationalize the denominator to remove the radical. To do this, multiply the numerator and denominator by the same radical expression. Choose an expression that makes the radicand in the denominator a perfect square. It may be helpful to start by simplifying the original radical in the denominator.
