① | Multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator . $$\color{blue}{ \sqrt{9}} $$. |
② | Multiply in a numerator. $$ \color{blue}{ 1 } \cdot \sqrt{9} = 3 $$ Simplify denominator. $$ \color{blue}{ \sqrt{9} } \cdot \sqrt{9} = 9 $$ |
③ | Divide both the top and bottom numbers by $ \color{orangered}{ 3 } $. |
