| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 11 + \sqrt{5}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 11 } \cdot \left( 11 + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{11} \cdot11+\color{blue}{11} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 121 + 11 \sqrt{5} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 11- \sqrt{5}\right) } \cdot \left( 11 + \sqrt{5}\right) = \color{blue}{11} \cdot11+\color{blue}{11} \cdot \sqrt{5}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot11\color{blue}{- \sqrt{5}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = 121 + 11 \sqrt{5}- 11 \sqrt{5}-5 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
