① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 1- \sqrt{2}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 2- \sqrt{3}\right) } \cdot \left( 1- \sqrt{2}\right) = \color{blue}{2} \cdot1+\color{blue}{2} \cdot- \sqrt{2}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot1\color{blue}{- \sqrt{3}} \cdot- \sqrt{2} = \\ = 2- 2 \sqrt{2}- \sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6} $$ 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 | Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1. |
⑤ | Remove 1 from denominator. |
