① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{5}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 1 + \sqrt{2}\right) } \cdot \sqrt{5} = \color{blue}{1} \cdot \sqrt{5}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{2}} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \\ = \sqrt{5} + \sqrt{10} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{5} } \cdot \sqrt{5} = 5 $$ |
