① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ 9 + \sqrt{7}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 9 } \cdot \left( 9 + \sqrt{7}\right) = \color{blue}{9} \cdot9+\color{blue}{9} \cdot \sqrt{7} = \\ = 81 + 9 \sqrt{7} $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \left( 9- \sqrt{7}\right) } \cdot \left( 9 + \sqrt{7}\right) = \color{blue}{9} \cdot9+\color{blue}{9} \cdot \sqrt{7}\color{blue}{- \sqrt{7}} \cdot9\color{blue}{- \sqrt{7}} \cdot \sqrt{7} = \\ = 81 + 9 \sqrt{7}- 9 \sqrt{7}-7 $$ |
③ | Simplify numerator and denominator |
