| ① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 1 + \sqrt{2}} $$. |
| ② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 12 + \sqrt{128}\right) } \cdot \left( 1 + \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{12} \cdot1+\color{blue}{12} \cdot \sqrt{2}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{128}} \cdot1+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{128}} \cdot \sqrt{2} = \\ = 12 + 12 \sqrt{2} + 8 \sqrt{2} + 16 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 1- \sqrt{2}\right) } \cdot \left( 1 + \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{1} \cdot1+\color{blue}{1} \cdot \sqrt{2}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{2}} \cdot1\color{blue}{- \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{2} = \\ = 1 + \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{2}-2 $$ |
| ③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
| ④ | Place a negative sign in front of a fraction. |
| ⑤ | Remove the parenthesis by changing the sign of each term within them. |
