① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 5 + \sqrt{6}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 5 + \sqrt{6}\right) } \cdot \left( 5 + \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{5} \cdot5+\color{blue}{5} \cdot \sqrt{6}+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot5+\color{blue}{ \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6} = \\ = 25 + 5 \sqrt{6} + 5 \sqrt{6} + 6 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 5- \sqrt{6}\right) } \cdot \left( 5 + \sqrt{6}\right) = \color{blue}{5} \cdot5+\color{blue}{5} \cdot \sqrt{6}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot5\color{blue}{- \sqrt{6}} \cdot \sqrt{6} = \\ = 25 + 5 \sqrt{6}- 5 \sqrt{6}-6 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
