① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 7 + 3 \sqrt{2}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot \left( 7 + 3 \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{1} \cdot7+\color{blue}{1} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2} = \\ = 7 + 3 \sqrt{2} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 7- 3 \sqrt{2}\right) } \cdot \left( 7 + 3 \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{7} \cdot7+\color{blue}{7} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2}\color{blue}{- 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot7\color{blue}{- 3 \sqrt{2}} \cdot 3 \sqrt{2} = \\ = 49 + 21 \sqrt{2}- 21 \sqrt{2}-18 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
